I have mentioned couchsurfing in my Travel Tips page on here and in a post.
But I haven't spoken of it much.
This weekend, after many months of email conversations and a previous failed attempt at making it to my side of the world, I've had the opportunity, the ability and the joy of showing a little piece of my world to some couchsurfers.
The conversations have flowed easily.
The ease of the company we're sharing is why this works.
Allowing strangers to share a small portion of your time, energy and funds is something all people should do.
It will open your mind to people whose profession you may never cross paths with otherwise. Or lead you to situations you could never plan with a travel company. And you will see things that a tour book wouldn't tell you.
It will change your life.
Trust me.
