Thursday, September 21st, 2006The community within couchsurfing is incredible. People all over the world sharing a similarly simple attitude about seeing the globe.
(Click on the globe to visit the Couchsurfing Store!)
The general consensus is, WHY TRAVEL AROUND FROM MOTEL/HOTEL TO STINKY HOSTEL, see only the touristy sights, and never get a real taste of culture…? Why ever do that again instead of staying WITH someone who lives in that area who is EXCITED about you being in a new location just as much as you are about being there? Someone that will offer you a couch, if not a bed, or a room for free! and maybe even cook you a meal of local fare?!
The question is, why would you ever subject yourself to traveling solo again when you can travel WITH the world!?
All I can say is go check it out. -
The initiative is incredible, and the people are even more so.
