This seriously made my eyes well up.
Couchsurfing.org’s latest video (view previous videos here) focuses on a rarer breed of couchsurfers: The couchsurfing families. I drowned in the abyss of mushiness after listening to the sentiments of our spiritual comrades. Today, I shall let them do the talking for me.
Watch to find out how Couchsurfing paved the way for us to see the world in a whole different prism, together as families. Also, uhm, spot our daughter throwing a tantrum on cam.
you are such an inspiration, woman. <3
Ahihi, thanks Rain 🙂
Congrats Gay! You are indeed an inspiration for travelers, whether couchsurfers or otherwise 😉 I don’t think I’m brave enough yet to try couchsurfing (mainly for safety issues, especially as a female solo traveler) but this makes me want to consider putting it on my must-do list. ;0
Hope you consider someday soon. Try surfing a female’s couch first so you’d feel a bit more comfy 🙂
Ang cute niyong 3! I like the picture you chose. Yung Iran/Philippines tapos Luna in the middle and the subtitle. Super touching! Keep on inspiring the world Emami’s! <3
we are really proud of you, sherv and little luna. i too will have my time. as promised i will try couchsurfing.
Thanks Karla! Yeah, and I’m glad they put Iran instead of Australia because that’s where he’s really from.
Yey Dong, really hope you do 🙂
<3 Love following you and your beautiful family around world.. And I should really try couchsurfing! =)
I’m sure you’ll be a good surfer Lai! 🙂
wow this is awesome, i was skeptical about couchsurfing at first but now i wna try it
^^Yey! Really hope you do 🙂
Ms Gay you have accomplished a lot and now you’re a star! You have been an inspiration to many and I am one of them, I’m a big fan of you, I wish you knew that, haha., also your hubby and the cute little Luna who is now growing fast! I’ve watched how Luna (parang teleserye? hehe) has grown in a way that is unusual being a part of a nomadic family. God Bless Emami Family!
Salamat Edmar! LOL at “teleserye”.
Aleah was a member too, this is a great org to socialize with other nation
I AM not aware that there is a couchsurfing for families! I think this is so cool! Oh your daughter is growing up fast!
great video! congrats! happy travelling 🙂
WOW! LOOKS like FUN! why we don’t have stuff like that in the Philippines? haha
this is so beautiful =)
..very inspiring. 🙂
what a experienced with couch surfing.You’ve accomplished a lot.You are an inspiration to travel bloggers.
Now that’s what I call traveling, Awesome.
i’ve heard about couch surfing before but i’ve never seen a family do it! interesting 🙂
I wish I have that same courage like you and your family has! You are an inspiration! I am a BIG fan here cheering you on your future adventures! Good luck and God bless the Emamis!!!!
Makasali nga diyan sa couchsurfing na yan.
It had always amazed me to see families on the go ever since, but most of them are foreigners. That’s why it’s so striking to know a Filipino one, not just that, babae pa talaga. Wow! Keep in inspiring travelers like me! 🙂
great share.. thanks a lot
Paulit-ulit kong sasabihin na isang malaking karangalan na nakasama ko ang isang travel blogger par excellence na gaya ni Pinay Travel Junkie. Sana ay muli kitang makadaupang palad at sana sa pagkakataong yun ay makita ko na rin si Manong Sherv at Baby Luna 🙂
Cha, yup 🙂 Not just common.
Sionee & Roj, thanks so much!
Leon, haha! Par excellence talaga?! ;p Isa lamang akong simpleng nanay na manlalakabay!
Wow, I wish its that easy for me to leave everything behind and couchsurf with family. You and your family are amazing!
Congrats for having a wonderful family!
You do inspire me – I might just try couchsurfing!
Great very inspiring. 🙂
Grate post here. Inspiring. I’m now a follower. =)
Wow meron din palang couchsurfing for families! Interesting. I heard about couchsurfing from Aleah palang before.. Nice to know this! Thanks for sharing! And I so love your travels! 😉
This is the first time I hear about this. So it seems like to be “exchange student” program. But this one is unique because it’s the whole family. I’d love to try this one.
very inspiring, keep it coming!
I saw this before. Astig e no? Nakakatuwa. I doubt I’d be able to do this since FM won’t even sleep in a hostel type of place haha.
But … one can dream right?
great experience you got.. i am interested in this couchsurfing hahaha.. will check it more.. thanks
is it really safe? would love to try it as i travel with my daughter always but i fear for her safety. as if hotel rooms are also safe 😉
What an inspiration!
I saw it, where Luna trowed a tantrum..
well, not really like one! hahaha!
This is a very effective way to travel and learn travel and learn the ways of the world!
Sounds very interesting, you really can learn a lot by staying and traveling with other families from different nation,.
Just finished couchsurfing in Leiden/Amsterdam. This is inspiring! 🙂
I’ve watched the videos, its really touching. 🙂
That’s awesome Aaron! Wasn’t a member of CS yet when I went to Amsterdam years ago. Really wish I was 🙁
This is very interesting, couchsurfing for families. This is the first time that I’ve heard about this. Is this similar with adopt-a-family?
interesting one, couchsurfing for families that’s a great idea, I never heard this before.You have a nice blog.
maybe someday I’ll try couchsurfing. siguro pag di na ako gaanong paranoid. lol
^^ Haha! I hope soon.
Never heard of this before. You have a wonderful family. Nourish them like a loving mom does. Have a great journey always!
to be honest, this is the first time I hear about couchsurfing. Wow, this sounds cool.
Congrats !!
I’ve heard about couchsurfing before. But a family doing it, its Awesome! ^_^
naks, ibang level ang international beauty ng pamilyang toh! hehehe 😀
I noticed that most family who do this are small one. I mean just the father the mother and the son or daughter…I guess if bigger family would find it difficult to do this…
haven’t tried but i believe it’s really great.. you are such an inspiration.. thanks for sharing this, possibility that we can share the world traveling with couchsurfing..
Awesome family is awesome. More travels and blessings to all of you especially to cutie Luna. 😀 *excited to see her*
i first encountered couchsurfing in your post… and learning a lot about it. thanks. Yahweh bless.
couchsurfing is very inspirational! Lemme check this out! 🙂
Great to “meet you & your family”, Gay!
What a great adventure you are undertaking. Watched the video clip thrice because it warmed my heart.
I can imagine my family doing this but I have to say I have lots of respect for you and your family, who are actually doing it.
My hubby’s bestfriend who lives in Almere, Netherlands, have hosted a lot of couchsurfers. I was curious and I think signed up for it just to get to know it better but I must’ve been distracted because I did not get into it much deeper.
This video is, in my opinion, a great way to communicate positively the many benefits of couchsurfing for families!
Wishing you and your family, all the best!
Congrats Enami Family! Mamaya may endorsement na rin ng baby products hihi <3
Kidding aside, ang cute talaga ni Baby Luna and reading your adventures as a traveling mommy and wife takes away my fear of being one in the future hehe
Gay, I want to be like you when I grow up. 🙂 Hehe!
Hahaha! I think you’re gonna be an awesome mum, Reiza 🙂
