What is Couchsurfing?

Some years ago we have discovered one website in the internet, which at first glance seemed to be something unreal and not very serious. In present this website already has become a huge community with more then a millon members all over the world.

What is couchsurfing? Well, it's exactly what it sounds - surfing someone's couch :-)

From one point of view its a way to save money on accomodation, from other point of view its the way to meet new frieneds and discover different places with locals. In couchsurfing you can meet people in every country and every place, locals and travellers, you can organize events, go to local meetings, participate to CS-ing activities and spend great time with your new friends.

It's important to know, that Couchsurfing is not a free accomodation - it's a cultural exchange, the way to meet local people and discover new places travelling. Before asking for a couch, don't forget to read information for newcomers :-)
