When you talk to someone new, after a while, there is this moment. You stop laughing and a that moment you are out of jokes and questions. You are both just are silent for a while, with nothing to say. It feels effortless and comfortable. It is at that moment , when you really get to know people and you open up. And then as you meet more people, their stories become yours, and their silly humor too! You can share that with so many more. I really want this with the locals of the place I go to. Your favorite bench, your 'best-spot-in-the-bar', that street you love for no reason, those cookies you munch on when it is winter, that freaky pub you discovered as an accident, the cheapest beer in a supermarket,your best coffee place and a book you enjoyed- I want to enjoy all of that, in your city. I believe if you don't have your own coffee spot, then you didn't really live in the place :p That's why I've recently started using Couch Surfing. It is like a giant network of people who care about care about these stories.
