Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Has first learned how couchsurfing works when I was first in Iran in 2014.

Got hosted by a Tehran guy, amazed by how non-touristic accomodation could be.

Knowing so well that tourism bears guilt, so as every tourist like me. Guilt marked in environment, as well as economic, social and stratification impact on foreign soil.

Feeling that simply consuming (paying and staying in hotels and resorts, walking down all theme parks and attractions) would make the above conditions (The negative side on a country) even worst.

Wanted to talk to real people (but not service provider) so much, yet feared even more that would got cheated in some how if I just randomly talk to a stranger on my journey.

Heard good things about couchsurfing and thus wanted to use it as a platform to be a responsible traveler, know how the people of a place truely are, and thus can I tell my friends back home what you truely look like.

Minimize the damage that would have caused to a country, knowing real and inspiring people, and knowing the true face of a country.
