Humans are social animals; at the very same time move around in close-knit circles. As we grow older, these circles get tighter and probably smaller. Our chances of meeting and connecting with strangers get slimmer and slimmer. At a time when conversations between co-passengers during travels are bare minimal, where we shy away even from making an eye contact with a passerby on a street, what happens when a complete stranger comes knocking on your door. Welcome to CouchSurfing . CouchSurfing offers travellers the ability to crash with a local and possibly a guided tour with the host. It is a cheap (maybe not always a safe ) alternative while travelling. In addition to the favorable economics for the traveller and a possibility for the host to travel to the guest’s hometown, the host gets to be part of a memory (hopefully a good one) and who knows a friend for life. As nerve wrecking as it may seem, it is highly recommended!
