If there is one thing that is extremely important to a backpacker, it is their budget. So, with that said, Anna and I will be CouchSurfing while we are in Los Angeles for 4 days. CouchSurfing's mission statement is as follows : "At CouchSurfing International, we envision a world where everyone can explore and create meaningful connections with the people and places they encounter. Building meaningful connections across cultures enables us to respond to diversity with curiosity, appreciation and respect. The appreciation of diversity spreads tolerance and creates a global community." Now, you try and tell me that this doesn't sound like the most awesome thing in the world. We perused the site for a while, looking at potential hosts, before we stumbled upon the most perfect host!
I encourage everyone to check out CouchSurfing, if you are backpacking or just traveling on a budget. Seriously. Do it.
I'll keep you all posted as we find out more details about our upcoming CouchSurfing experience.
It's going to be so fun!! CouchSurfing proves there are still trustworthy people out in the world.
