Youth hostels are not the trend anymore for youngsters eager for adventure and encounters. Now the new trend is the ultimate “Couch surfing”.
The system is simple, friendly and couldn’t be cheaper! You simply crash at some good Samaritan’s place.

The couch surfing community abounds with willing helping souls offering their couch for a night or more. And there is more to that, unlike an aseptic hotel or an appartment exchange, you will be able to sample the real taste of local culture, your host might introduce you to its social network, show you around and make you discover places you will never find in brochures, and maybe it can all end up in a little romance?

If this is the kind of adventure you crave for, www.couchsurfing.com is the community for you. As I “speak” now, this community is proudly listing 129 949 couches all over the world!

I am offering my couch on the couchsurfing community, and as a user, I can say the website is user-friendly, you can easily look for a couch or offer yours by creating a profile. You can send messages, chat online, and even become and embassador of the couch surfing project.
