Day 114: Trying to write that letter...

So yeah, the readers voted yes andI've started out to write a letter to ask this guy if I can stay at his place for a day or so.

"Hi Said,

I'm pretty new to Couchsurfing, but it seems like a great way of meeting people..."

But when I search for the actual dates I'm in Paris his place doesn't show up, I don't really know how Couchsurfing works, perhaps it means it's not available. Or perhaps he just didn't list these dates as available.

Yeah, I'm kind of getting second thoughts about this thing. But I feel I really have to go through with it now. The Couchsurfing site has an excellent filter function so you can search for almost anything. So I can see that there are other nudists in Paris too. But for most it seems like this might be some gay thing. Then it would be kind of weird for me to ask to stay there, no? I need to get advice on this by someone who knows Couchsurfing better. I still have more than a week before i go to Paris. By the way, I also searched for female nudists, that might feel less uncomfortable for me, but there doesn't seem to be any...
