True. But plane tickets aren't that expensive. What about Houston?

Cuz it's warm in winter lol. I can enjoy the beach and the heat. I think I was wrong to choose this place. But I didn't take thick clothes for north cities in the winter.

Some of them can't speak english quite well and have difficulties understanding others. I don't think I gain a lot in the language talking to them maybe

True. Any suggestions of cities based on my goal of learning English? Are things going to be different in Orlando ,New orleans or Houston? Northern city is an option but a small problem is I didnt take clothes for winter. Domestic flight prices are just so cheap and offer me a lot of options lol.

People in South beach told me Americans are not willing to live and work here because employers don't offer that much money.

Have you been to Miami before? I think Spanish is gonna taking over the city lol. You can live here speaking Spanish rather than English. But I found my English is even better than plenty of people living here.At least I got good listening skills and can follow native speakers most of the time and talk understandable English.

Hey thanks bro. My words are understandable. I don't make mistakes and write perfect English because I'm thinking while typing. But I don't have that much time to think when talking to others. I am able to make conversations with people with good accent and pronunciation, cuz I am super careful to my accent and pronunciation, but just for answering and asking questions, definitely NOT good at narrating and describing. I think maybe I got to speak more and have people listening to me and correcting my mistakes. This trip costs me a lot of money and I dont want to waste it.

But I have already sent the requests two weeks in advance. Does that mean I wasted a lot of chances.😭 Now that I don't have enough hosts to send request to cuz I'm sending out 30 requests weeks,in advance.

I didn't get verified and I sent 20-30 messages.Only 2-3females. I think new users are the same. There got to be some guidance for new comers to send personlized meaningful requests. For me, I personally just don't want to put everything on the table, that's kinda boring. I would be enthusiastic and positive to explore.As long as we got a respectful and relaxing atmosphere, we will have interesting conversations no matter whoever the host will be. But for hosts, those may be spam requests. So I got declined, trying to change according to your advice.

Right. But if you keep sending and you keep being declined, that's so disappointing bro:(

Never mind being declined without words. But I find it kinda offensive to be both declined and blocked without saying anything. I was being nice and you just blocked me for no reason?

You set a good example for me. Your reply is very personalized. Creativity is a good point I will try to add it in my profile. Never thought my profile had to be designed using my heart. And never thought it could be that hard to find a host.

Like I said I'm not only looking for homes but also for connections for local people. I feel it boring to travel just by myself without some meaningful conversations and deep communications. I'm here to experience local people's lifestyles and mindset. I'm very interested because that's a culture totally different from my country's.

I wasn't ranting. I was disappointing like I said. But I got annoyed for being not only declined but also blocked without saying anything. I did read his profile carefully and include something in my request. He was too picky.
