Couchsurfing, the new way of travelling
Recently I have found a new way of travelling throughout this World in a cheaper way and also in a way that provides the best interaction with people from other countries and other cultures. People can learn and know about the places they visit better than ever and meet new people and make new friends. In my conception, this kind of travelling revolutionates the perspective we have about the globe and makes us much more aware of the culture and the symbols of the country we travelling to.
Couchsurfing is the name of this community of people and people who are registed can travel staying in the other members’ home. The couchsurfing project was created simply and clearly to improve relationships between people around the World and to allow this new cheap way to travel.
More information take a look at the official website.

While I like couchsurfing there is a growing new hospitality child. http://www.bewelcome.org is a new site for sharing something REAL.
No, not files, not pictures. BeWelcome is a culture crossing network that lets you not only share a place to sleep but a place to meet up and help others on their way.
BeWelcome is all about building bridges and really touching other cultures. Staying at a local’s house and enjoying local festivities but also facing a population’s problems are ways to get to know a totally new perspective. This is why we support local communities and social initiatives and encourage our members to take part in their activities.
