Chapel Hill
a popular
destination
for surfers
Couch surfing a
worldwide trend
Greg Whitehead
staff writer
College students who want to
get away during upcoming breaks
often think about crashing on a
friend’s couch to keep from break-
ing the bank.
Thanks to the Internet, they
can crash on a stranger’s couch,
too. Travel website CouchSurfing.
org, which has garnered 2,259,314
members since its public launching
in 2004, is a network that connects
frugal travelers with new friends
and old couches across the world.
Some of these couches are right
here in Chapel Hill.
UNC graduate student and
couch surfer Adam Kelleher said
the Chapel Hill area has become
a popular destination for travelers
due to the school’s international
appeal, popular athletics and the
area’s thriving music scene.
“I have hosted a couple of bands
coming through the area, so I always
go out to their shows when they’re in
town,” Kelleher said. “I also hosted a
couple of girls who were in town for
a hoop-dancing event.”
Kelleher said bands are attracted
to the area’s reputable music scene
and prospective students often
come through to preview UNC
before studying here.
Kelleher worked at a hostel in
his hometown of Charleston, S.C.,
where he frequently showed tour-
ists around, before he moved to
England. There, he couch surfed
until he found his own residence.
Senior Arthur Gribensk couch
surfed through France and Ireland
and is hosting a guest from
Goldsboro next week.
“The people were so welcoming,”
Gribensk said. “One family took me
to a cookout with their close friends.
A lot of people cooked for me and
showed me around their towns.”
Chapel Hill residents Kathy and
Mike Narotsky have hosted two dif-
ferent visitors this year, a mother-
daughter pair from England and a
couple from Minnesota.
“It has been great,” Kathy
Narotsky said. “We are a family,
my husband and two kids, so we
are careful about who we take.”
Narotsky said she is surpris-
ingly satisfied with the protective
measures of the couch surfing pro-
gram.
“We got a request recently that
we turned down because the per-
son didn’t have any references and
we didn’t feel comfortable; there
are signs that people are who they
say they are,” Narotsky said.
CouchSurfing.org requires an
identity and location verification
process and allows surfers and
hosts to see who is verified.
“There (are) extensive security
features and screening, plus you
can read individual profiles and
the reviews given to them by other
surfers,” Kelleher said.
Gribensk’s positive experience
couch surfing through Europe led
him to return the favor.
He said that if he had a daughter,
he would feel comfortable allowing
her to couch surf after seeing the
safety measures involved.
“I now understand the position
people are in when they are trav-
eling, so I felt I should open my
house up because I have been on
the other end of that when I need-
ed a place to stay,” Gribensk said.
