The site is a bit of a nightmare to navigate, but the people and the opportunities it represents are amazing. We've had so many people treat us so well. Of course, staying with people, rather than in a hostel, means it can be a bit difficult to switch off at times but it's a worthwhile trade! Friends of ours are into board gaming in a big way and, after they introduced us to it last year, we're hooked. In fact, we started up a gaming company together -- which is that site, <a href="http://seriouslyboard.co.nz" rel="nofollow">Seriously Board - NZ board games</a>. My favourite game right now is probably Endeavor, but the Catan card game packs down nice and small: a deck of cards, two dice and a couple of markers. Yes, to both questions! :)

And oh boy, here comes my nerdiness: I love Settlers of Catan! Are you hooked? So I’m guessing you would recommend couchsurfing to other newbies?
