Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think its a really nice way of travelling, meeting locals, sharing experencies, you take more perspective about the place you are visiting, you escape from the point of view of the eyes of a silly tourist, cities shouldnt be amusment parks, they must be made more human and it should be more contact between locals and foreginers, i find couchsurfing a really nice project.
