ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY
next question...is why? always ask why? :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
i am always "CSing" I prefer the opposit gender, as I spend a lot of time (during winter) with sports (men) talking football and such, so its more interesting, and DIFFERENT for the rest of the time for me to host and talk with girls & women (not "fee males" ha ha) or go dancing and socialize , as I am a"loner" during the cold months and so like to be active during the beautiful months , here from April to October...PLEASE do NOT REQUEST hosting, if u a) dont like to be "sociable" or b) U do NOT read MY profile....respect the host!
This is the new "pro file" on CSing, I previously hosted over 100 people in Podgorica with over 80 positive references , however some neggies spoilt that..
I have already some VERY positive experiences HOSTing here in Dg, (nearby )
but had almost as many Csing problems of people making requests, and then cancelling late, arriving late or not coming,
I appreciate HHikers have a random travel , but communication with me and realistic targets avoid problems, I will guarantee a GREAT time here if u respect this.
..........I have made a couple of non references because of selfish "new" people CSing , i dont want to make a negative, so please...understand !
(as at 150913, ad 160705 _I had to make another negative because of another "time waster" and it makes me so angry when I open my home and share my life and do so much to make a guest welcome that people make trouble ,
anyway" from now on PLEASE NOTE, any one who wastes my time, (make a bogus request" etc, of cancels too late ...) WILL GET A NEGATIVE "reference" )
I have decided to BAN using the over-used words "awesome" ;) and "cool" during Cser visits to me
and , apart from travel organising and messages to family, smart phones are "verboten" ha aha ;)
its sad that CSing has so many people who dont respect the "original spirit" of "sharing life"
Because...
I put a lot of energy and time etc into this important part of my social life, so PLEASE share it..
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
mostly hosting but a few ijits last year on my old profile..so the HQ cut it!
more about me at http://now2balien.blogspot.com/ i am making this private Log PUBLIC because some one dont believe my references ha ha...
160730
This year I have had only a few CSers BUT more than 20 "failed" requests - mostly due to people changing plans.. OR NOT EVEN knowing anything about me, SO DONT want to " SHARE MY LIFE" (CSing motto) I give a lot of effort to this large part of my social life..
therefor PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A REQUEST UNLESS you are 90% sure of keeping to the dates proposed.
UNBELIEVABLE?
only ONE WEEK after I wrote this warning... a couple (Anna & Kris) sent me a personal request to stay 5th august )on 4th august) I dont like "short notice) but as Kris pleaded in a personal way ("YNWA") i accepted, and prepared a room for their arrival, and changed my friday plans.. Kris then cancelled their (individual) request ...and when I complained made some negative comments about my "military" style. I DO NOT WANT NOR NEED CSers who fail to respect the Host (we open our lives and homes to you) SHOW SOME RESPECT!
thats the last warning..do not waste my time....PLEASE!
160818
NOTE, and I say it again, as i have 3 negative comments (very recently this AUGUST 2016) , from CSers (2 of which did NOT stay with me, ) IMO .... BECAUSE THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONTENTS OF MY PROFILE OR MY "conditions" for HOSTING BEFORE THEY REQUESTED HOSTING.!!! PLEASE AVOID THIS BY READING THOROUGHLY ... Because I dont liek to do it, BUT I will make HONEST references if you waste MY TIME, LIFE is TOO short..... :)

• Confirmed Stay - Would Stay With Chris Again

Chris hosted me and my husband in Podgorica for five nights 5th-10th August 2016.
He immediately answered to my Couch Request and soon we agreed the details of hosting. He offered us a separate flat in Podgorica, so we could feel free in our plans. Unfortunately, we preferred Mrtvica canyon and other hikes over his company and he was not in the same town, so we did not spend much time together. Anyway, I feel we could continue our conversation on some other occasion. During our presence Chris hosted two more people, so I think he is another important person among Podgorica Couchsurfing hosts. Last but not the least, he has nice smile. Thank you for hosting!

I stayed with Chris for one night while travelling per hitchhike back to Greece. He and his other couchsurfer were really nice to me and made me feel welcome! Chris had cooked delicious pasta and gave me some good montenegrian rose wine.
We chatted long and the next morning went to the lake which shares the albanian borders. He took me to a great cafe with the best view! In the end I even got hitchhicking tipps
Thanks again for everything Chris! The postcard will be sent once I am in Thessaloniki!!

Chris was awesome. He was totally cool with hanging out with us and also just letting us do our own thing. He had great tips for what we should do and how we could get around. Unfortunately we didn't get to make any of this Brasilian fudge type thing for him but next time! We'll also try not to be on the wifi so much when we go out.
Thank you so much for offering to host us and letting us know about another incredible part of Montenegro. And also for being so flexible with us and our ever-changing schedule. Until next time!

It's taken me a while to write this as it's hard to describe what fun Chris and I had while he hosted me in Danilovgrad. We instantly clicked when we met and the next two days were a blur of fascinating stories, onion omelettes, rakija, beer, boats, and trying to avoid dancing while sober :) You must visit Chris if you are in Montenegro, but be fully prepared to drink and dance :) He's a rare character. They just don't make them like that anymore!

I met Chris a few years ago in Albania, he invited me and this was the second time I stayed with him. Chris has tons of stories to tell of the lives he lead and leads. He is eager to show his Montenegro and a great guy to talk with. I am sure this is not the last time I will visit him, as there is so much more to see and discuss.

We only got to stay with Chris for 1 night, but it was perfect. Thanks to him we saw a lot of Montenegro in a short period of time. Also we really enjoyed his company, sense of humor and of course Rakija in the morning. I definitely have to see the beautiful Montenegro and Chris again in the future! Thank you.

2 nights (and days) at Chris' were amazing. He lives in a very charming place and showed us beautiful places in Montenegro, which we probably would not see ourselves if it wasn't for him. Thank you very much for a nice time with wine, discussing and puppies :)

Chris was a nice and friendly host. Lina and I enjoyed our stay. Chris took the time to take us for breakfast, showed Podgorica and even helped us to find a place to repair our car (since it was making strange sounds). Chris as well helped us to find beautiful places in Montenegro to visit. We wish you good luck Chris and take care!

Chris got really angry when I told him 4 DAYS IN ADVANCE (2 days after having done the request) that we changed our plans and could not come to his place. This was enough reason for him to leave me a negative reference. Apparently he has not understood the point of negative references and leaves everybody that cancels their stay a negative reference. He wrote me really unfriendly, accussing me of not having read his profil and wanting to have only a beach holiday (which did not make sense at all since first I read his profile and second we were on the Durmitor mountain when I wrote him). So apparently he was the one who did not read my message. After his paranoic response my friend and me really did not want to go to his place. Chris you should stop taking the cancelations of request so personally.

Chris's response

as I told her, and is clear on my profile, I ask TIME after time CSers NOT to request hosting unless they are SURE..

So Chris was our guardian angel during our whole stay in Montenegro : came to pick us up at the airport and made sure we got back home after two weeks ! He is thoughtful and generous, loves to chat and host all the time. He is very passionnate and a good soul with strong opinions ! He has many friends in Montenegro and showed us the best places
 to stay and eat. I recommend to stay with him. But as Chris likes more than everything honesty, I must write for travelers that his place in Danilvograd is not super clean, you might come across a few spider webs !!

Chris is a very difficult and complicated person. He seems to be like in the army. My friend and I never comfirmed my stay at his place but he left me a bad reference. Reading the reference on his profil and the way he wrote to me, I was demotivated and I was not feeling comfortable to stay with him. I informed him that I couldn't reach his place 33h 10 min before the meeting time that he communicated to me. I changed mind but he over reacted. I didn't want not to be on time as I read his profile carefully. All these reasons made that I canceled my stay. But he might be thinking that he could control every single activity on earth. A little bit of tolerance from him and taking life a bit more easy would be very helpful to humanity !

Chris's response

his details not true, attitude contrary and rude in communications...it is clear on my profile, I ask TIME after time CSers NOT to request hosting unless they are SURE..

• Does Not Recommend Chris

A word to CSers. My friend and I are travelling around the Balkans meeting and staying with many people on CS. Since we often are declined or recieve no response we send out multiple requests on CS . We then usually make our plans around our CSers. I sent a request to Chris who responded with several questions at which point we had already been taken under wing by another person. I told him this and he, in turn, wrote me a negative reference. Although we had never once established a plan he claimed that I changed my plans on him and had no respect. Bith my friend and I care deeply about respecting our hosts who kindly welcome us and, when we establish plans, have never failed to act on them. So take his profile seriously and dont send this man a request unless you absolutely plan to rely on it or he may do the same to you.

Chris's response

AGAIN ,,, (and no excuse at all as Alanna lived in english speaking country) is clear on my profile, I ask TIME after time CSers NOT to request hosting unless they are SURE..

Few months passed after I met Chris but.. I guess after few years if someone would come to me and ask: Do u remember Chris from Danilovgrad? I would say: Silly question, u can't forget your friends! He is such a wonderful person,that even we spent just 2 days together I want to call him my Friend. I wouldn't forget him- never. Chris is a man,which makes u feel that all of us, we are from one big family- Universe and he shares with u everything he has. Thanks Cs that we have opportunities to find those people!

After a turbulent trip up to Montenegro I was lucky to meet Chris. Though I was only supposed to stay two nights, I was invited to stay for longer which of course I did!
Chris is an including and warm person, and I would definitely recommend him if you’re staying in Podgorica. We shared numerous bottles of wine, many good moments and in general a really good time.
As you might understand reading Chris’ references, he really likes CSing and the social part around CS. Like he said himself ‘I invite the world to come to me’, and if you understand and respect this you’re in for one of your best CS experience you’ll ever have.
NOTE (and only a note to future visitors): Chris does not live in the centre of Podgorica, but a few minutes away. There’s a bus leaving from the bus station quite often (32,34 and a another thirty-something). It cost less than two euros and it’s the end stop (bus station in Danilovgrad).
I also want to comment on one of the negative reference that’s been given to Chris. He might be a bit forward with getting your phone number, but that’s ONLY because Chris doesn’t have wifi and imagine all the hassle having to go out every time to check your inbox.

Chris Smith - This man ain't a myth!
With him, I have absolutely no beef.
Extremely generous, thoughtful and kind,
He's bound to tickle your mind.
Many good times out and quiet nights in,
So you can throw all your worries in a bin!
He loves to talk, jive and laugh.
And can drink with you til you barf.
Danilovgrad isn't very known,
But a wonderful time you'll be shown.
Thank you Chris for your exceptional hospitality.
The experiences here has made me very happy!

We went to watch a game of Beşiktaş and I learned a new drink "Bamboos" .. actually it is not easy to explain he is really good guy good stories good time spend together ..

I am not sorry for coming at you're home but I didn't feel safe. Next time don't try to hide a true, you don't live in Podgorica, you live 30 km from Podgorica. I told you I dont want to came becouse I don't feel safe and I will never came where I don't feel safe. You didn't wanted even to give me address to check on google maps where is it.
I respected you and you should allways do the same, not wroting me ,,Serbian sabotage" and insulting me in reference and personal messages also.

Chris Smith-Mypod

complaint , "Serbian sabotage" Re: Miljana Zutic requested hosting 8-10th September
so, your "apology" was not sincere....
If you had explained with another excuse I may have believed you, but either you are lying now or before,
I communicate often because its MY language, and obviously trying to help YOU, because your english is bad.
a) YOU sent me a REQUEST for 8th - 10th September, and I asked u for your mobile phone number BECAUSE
( as I explained) IF YOU READ MY PROFILE PROPERLY ) I am not online so, i need to confirm your arrivalby via sms
AS I DONT WANT people arriving at my address when I am not at home, thats LOGICAL!
b) you had the chance to read the references , including "that girl" (who actually was in a GROUP of four people who I REJECTED because they were TOO LATE.. (it is rare that any host can care for FOUR!, but...i was prepared..)
c) IF you had doubts you had the chance to CANCEL the request BEFORE the dates, BUT, instead , I GOT A MESSAGE on 9th september (already 1 day late, that you asked to be hosted on 10th September , and DESPITE you being TWO DAYS LATE, I still said "yes" IF you can communicate..your mobile number, as sometimes I am in Podgorica and sometimes in Danilovgrad, which you would know if YOU had REALLY read my profile.
d) I told U i am not online , BUT , instead of txting me your plans, you cancel in the afternoon, not with this "latest excuse" but with " change of plan(e)s"
saying "sorry"(twice) via email and NOT via sms, as i requested , although I texted you (at MY expense) to arrange a meeting point EASY for U! and thus wasted a THIRD evening waiting for your NON-arrival!
e) Obviously you are not "sorry" but selfish...because MY 14 GOOD references contradict YOU!
I dont think you ever intended to stay with me, u just are another disrespectful "time waster" who thins k i am a "free hostel" ..
and unless you convince me otherwise , I will take it you are typical selfish balkanese who would rather lie than own up to your own mistake! what you are doing is attempting to hurt me, through your own immaturity, so its a shame, but I am glad now that I did NOT give u the benefit of sharing MY LIFE and MY home and MY HOSPITALITY,
and I AM WARNING anyone else who wants to "sabotage" this profile can go to hell!
CS
p.s. a pathetic attempt to damage me, I know why!! yr comments are not logical! (my profile states DANILOVGRAD , not Podgorica, ...CU next time! :)

I do not advice contacting with Chris because we had unpleasant conversation with him. He canceled our stay at the late evening when we were 30km from his house.

Chris Smith-Mypod

should have hosted , but after a lot of contact her group of FOUR was delayed and expected to arrive very late, I do not want to write a negative reference, but suggest other hosts take care as she and her group perhaps are inexperineced CSing and may need guidance HAVING Read Julies reference, PLEASE TAKE THIS as a warning , ANYONE WHO KEEPS to "the plan" will have a GREAT time, anyone who does NOT, risks beign rejected..I am NOT a Hostel, (but there could be one next door soon,,,) :)

I spent 3 days with Chris. From danilovgrad, he showed me around : skadar lake,podgarica ... He will be a good story teller of his previous adventures. Living with pure necessary stuffs, you will either sleep in his couch or in the 'second house'.
Chris has a special way to do couchsurfing, living the sharing experience fully.

If it could be a "super positive" rate for sure I would chose this one. I can't describe with words how we have learnt from him. If someone wants to know about what I am talking, better ask him to stay for two or three days. We will meet you again for sure, Chris.

Chris is an amazing person and if you ever have a chance to meet him - don't miss it! First of all, he can tell you a lot more about beauty of Montenegro than you can read in any book or website, so a week or two won't be enough to see it all. Except being a great tourist adviser, he's also great person to party with! The only time when he's not talking, smiling, dancing or squeezing the best out of life is probably when he sleeps (and even this I'm not so sure of ;)) You simply can't get bored with Chris! Thank you a lot for your hospitality, I'm looking forward to see you again!

My girlfriend and I stayed only for one night with Chris, which was way too short. Chris is full of great (travel) stories and knows all the great places in Montenegro, unfortunately we only met him on our last day in Montenegro.
Chris we really liked the monastery, unfortunately the que was too long for us to get in, but the view made it worth going up there nevertheless.

Oh yes, Chris has been an amazing host and might just like that become a friend for life! From the moment i biked up to his place we had a lot of fun. Chris has great stories to tell and might actually never stop if you don't get him very drunk or in the back of a car along the fantastic Tara river canyon :) at least an unplanned two hour hike along the Black lake didn't stop our conversations :p We spent only two days but experienced so much it felt like a week, a great week! To be continued Chris, you rock!

I met Chris in a pub in POdgorica. We spent a nice evening chatting, dancing and exchanging impressions about travelling. He's a kind guy, always ready to party! See you in Danilovgrad!
