I think Couchsurfing is a platform that allows us to meet new people, and cultures and expand our minds. I've met, hosted, and traveled with amazing people, learning from their experiences and sharing mine. It is indeed an incredible experience and it definitely brings a different perspective than traveling as a regular tourist in a regular hotel and visiting the most touristic places.

Getting lost at night in La Guajira desert because the guy who was supposed to pick us up forgot about us! We had to walk for hours until we reached the town. The guy had a group of people with flashlights looking for us in the desert. It was a great experience, I don't want to go through that again, though ha! Taking an old guy who was hitchhiking to his home in the border of Slovenia - Italy. Getting to a lonely restaurant in a valley in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the Julian Alps. Such an amazing view!
