COUCHSURFING: The New Way Travel

COUCHSURFING: The New Way Travel!

bitten by the travel bug but perpetually running low on cash to ever venture out and explore the world… Sounds too familiar a situation, doesn’t it?
Travelling the world had always been made to seem expensive, something that only a privileged few would ever get to experience. But Millennials are changing the face of Travel. Call it a revolution, if you will, because travelling is no longer viewed as luxury but rather as a necessity.
The over 4 million strong and growing community of Couchsurfers is at the heart of this changing travelling trend. If you’re not one who is scared of going off the beaten path, and want to experience the world as a traveler rather than a tourist, Couchsurfing will make you feel right at home.
So how does it work? Registration on the couchsurfing website is a simple process. You create your account and while verification is not necessary, it can go a long way in establishing your credibility and helping you get hosts or Couchsurfers whom you can host, much quicker.
As a host, you offer free a place in your home for Couchsurfers from all over the world who wish to explore your country! It is a great way of sharing your culture and experiences and getting the motivation to take that first step and embark on your own journey!
In addition, you can attend local couchsurfing meetups to meet people from the community! The possibilities are endless.
Better yet? All this is free! Imagine not having to spend a huge chunk of your travel budget on finding accommodation!
Its completely natural to be skeptical about the entire idea.. Why would any sane person let a stranger stay in their house for free? Although there are some safeguards put in place- the site offers references from past guests and hosts – but the biggest safeguard, is yourself..
There are thousands of people like you who are looking for a place to stay free, to make a friend in a foreign land, or to exchange cultural and other ideas. Remember that Euro Trip that you have been planning for all those years? Its time to take the plunge and experience the world in a whole new way. Be a global citizen and make the world your home.
