Activity 10. COUCHSURFING
You have friends all over the world; you just haven’t met them yet.
While traveling Europe, there are many different types of accommodations you can find. You can take the traditional routes of hotels and hostels or you can take a few alternate routes like camping and CouchSufing.
CouchSurfing is a online platform that connects foreigners with country natives who have a spare bed or couch to offer. CouchSurfing has over 9 million members in countries all around the globe.
Economic Benefits. One of the most obvious benefits of Couchsurfing is that by staying for free on someone’s couch you can save money while traveling. Surfing in someone's home also has the added benefits that usually you can have access to a kitchen, saving you money on food, and often washing machines. However, saving money is not the only benefit of Couchsurfing.
Learning Benefits. Another great benefit of Couchsurfing is gaining a quick introduction into local culture, entertainment, and other points of interest. Unlike staying at a hotel, where the best you can hope for is a list of landmarks and a map, Couchsurfers generally go out of their way to help their visitors learn about, explore, and enjoyed the city. It allows you to have an instant friend and instant insight into a new place.
Social Benefits. Additionally, couchsurfers tend to be very friendly, outgoing, and interesting people. Whether it is making friends on the other side of the world, or meeting new people just a few miles away at a meet up, couchsurfing is a great way to expand your social circles, meet people you wouldn't otherwise, and have a lot of fun!
