The Harare festival draws quite a crowd, and this was also reflected in the amount of CouchSurfing requests we received. Where during the entire past year, we only hosted about 5 people, of which a couple were journalists, now, we got flooded with requests to the point we didn't really knew who was who anymore. Eventually, we hosted about 15 people in our little flat, with about 8 nationalities, from Lusaka, Germans driving to South Africa in a minibus, two Danish fact finding guys...
Our place got very crowded but honestly, it was a fun feeling. A bit like a hostel, where you catch one playing the guitar, another two are swimming in the pool, some chatting or chilling. A relaxed atmosphere and we had copies of the keys made so everybody sort of went their own way. Bit of traffic jams for the bath room, but hey, that's why we had the pool filled up.
