Eager to travel but have no money for booking a hotel or even hostel room? Would like to visit new places but have no money to pay for tours? Sadly think you should forget this unsuccessful idea of travelling? Think you have no right to travel if there is no money in your pocket? It’s not so. Everybody has the right to travel and Couchsurfing.org gives you the opportunity to travel if you are skint.

Hard to believe? Read the review of Irina Tsumareva from Belarus:

Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an excellent way of travelling for free. It is the way to feel the real spirit of any city, to look at it in the way locals see it. I have couchsurfed in the USA (LA, NYC, Boston). In NY I have been hosted for more than a week. It was truly an amazing feeling when hosts have given me keys from their apartment, so I could come and leave home whenever I wished.

When passing through some cities I have stopped by for walk with local CS members. Although I have never heard any bad reviews about CS, you should always be careful. It is a good idea to chat with your future host in social media (e.g. Facebook) beforehand to be sure you will be expected guest. I recommend CS to all my friends. It is truly an unforgettable experience!

Accommodation & Tour Guide for Free

Couchsurfing is unique and dazzling chance to fulfil your travel desires. When you come to a foreign country you certainly get new impressions.
