I think for me, Couchsurfing is the best way to meet locals and gain new experiences. I've used warm showers while cycling across Europe and I have met some of the most joyful and open minded people, so I decided to give couch surfing a go! Using Couchsurfing has given me a more local and authentic experience, and it has shown me how extremely kind people can be! As I am a student, it’s easier for me to take last minute requests (1-3 days before)
