I believe that the world still lacks empathy and cooperation of all kinds. That is probably why many people get cofused when I explain about Couchsurfing and that there's no money envolved: only a big community wanting to help fellow travellers and share experiences. Traveling should be an universal right, but the raising prices of hostels and flight tickets makes it not possible for many people. So, I think that an initiative like Couchsurfing is a great way to make it achievable and to transform a simple touristic trip in a deeper and more unique exchange of experiences with locals and fellow travellers. I believe in those initiatives and support it 100%.
