For me, travel is not just about visiting places—it’s about the connections we make along the way. Couchsurfing truly changed my life: - because of my host in Hamburg I studied political science - I made many new friends

- Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef in Australia - Hitchhiking with fellow travellers through Morocco on a tractor - I locked myself out in Sydney at the beginning of my exchange semester. Almost cried but then found neighbours who helped me climb into the open window back in - Croissant baking class in Paris, it was so tasty! - missed my train in India, got help from a local family who was also taking the next train, offering me a spare bed and talking with me all night
