Staying only in hotels and hostels when travelling means you miss out on 50% of potential life experience and on meeting some great people. Seeing behind the glossy surface available to tourists is really important to me and couchsurfing must be the best way to do this! Behind every Eiffel Tower, Big Ben or Berlin Wall is surely a fantastic time waiting to be had..
