Two couchsurfers arrived at my door about half an hour ago. This was a surprise to me, as I wasn't expecting anyone. I assumed I must have forgotten, invited them in and showed them the room, and now they have gone out to find food. But I just checked my messages on couchsurfing to work out what was going on, and I have no messages from anyone asking to stay tonight, even ones that I've refused. The way couchsurfing works, they can't have had my address unless I've accepted them, and they are here so they must have it. I have no idea what's going on! Oh well, they seem nice enough. When they get back I'll ask them if they have a record of the messages - if it's a mistake that's fair enough, but if it is More Nefarious then they can leave, and check that they're not planning to stay longer than two nights. I was going to go and see Keira Knightley at the cinema tonight, but I guess not now...

Hmm, seems odd! I hope that it's Not Nefarious. And I hope Keira will be around for long enough for you to catch up with her at some point...

I am alarmed by this. Kick them out of your house!

*overprotective*

"Get up and bar the door"

Meep!

I second the permission to bludgeon them if they're wrong AND ruined your night with the lovely Keira.

Urk! I hope for Not Nefarious too.

Have fun with Keira soon!

I'm assuming Keira is to be seen in Seeking a Friend? I saw it yesterday and liked it very much.

Also, hmm, not liking these couch surfing peeps. Hope an explanation comes sharpish.

I'm wondering if you found out what happened yet? I've thought of signing up but we live too far outside of the centre of Santiago to be useful. Also I admit that sometimes the idea of having strangers in my house sounds less of an adventure and more of a fright.

Could a different couchsurfer who has stayed with you have told them you address, so they just showed up hoping?

Please do give an update/comment so we know something hasn't gone terribly wrong...
