Travelling for me is about getting in contact with the randomness of life. I realized that I travel to meet people and experience different cultu res, seeing beautiful places is a nice benefit along the way. I find that couchsurfing has enabled me exactly that, to travel like a traveller, not a tourist. Please keep in mind that this is a couch-surfing. I can only offer a matress in a room where I sleep. My room is accessed through the room of roomie so there is not a lot of privacy. :)
