"Imagine having an interesting friend wherever you are - 2,000 miles from home or in your hometown.

With millions of members in over 230 countries and territories around the world, CouchSurfing is paving the way for a better, friendlier world where people who are different can find like-minded people. We are both a community and a movement. If you believe that different people can share joy, trust, and friendship, then you should join us."

Advanced Couchsurfing users truly believe that the world can be made wider for themselves, seen and believed. The earth is a ball, and all people are people capable of understanding and even loving each other.

The main practical meaning of Couchsurfing:

You want to go, say, to Italy. On the website http://www.couchsurfing.org/ you find a person in whose profile you can find out everything that worries you. The time at which he can accept, the place where he lives, the conditions of “acceptance”. This could be a young couple, or an active young man, or a beautiful girl. Let's say she doesn't accept dogs because she has allergies, she's a vegetarian, and she can't smoke in her house. If you are interested in her proposal, you write her a message. Afterwards, you communicate, maybe on Skype. It's up to you.

Of course, don’t forget - by becoming a member of this club, you also take on the mission of welcoming people from other countries. Of course, no one will force you to do this, since the main idea of ​​couchsurfing is volunteerism, voluntariness, personal initiative and desire.

I believe that Couchsurfing is an alternative option to hostels, an excellent addition to your hitchhiking trip, an opportunity to meet people from different cities and countries. It's very simple for EU citizens, it's simple for everyone else.

Exchange of cultural traditions, the opportunity to spend time in good company, live as a “local” lives, improve English.

The youth of all countries, who are so scared and bored, who so want change, your active work can begin with a trip to couchsurfing. And what could be better on the eve of summer?
