HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Traveling, and the intercultural exchange that goes with it, opens minds and makes you less prejustice against other cultures/people and opens your eyes to the fact, that YOU are a stranger at first almost everywhere but your home. If you think it to the end, you might say: CS helps to prevend war. On a small scale but..... And CS makes traveling possible even if you don´t have a lot money and is a good way to meet people, which are open-minded, otherwise they wouldn´t be with CS. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE The times I hosted people were very nice experiences and great exchanges. It makes you want more.
