Couchsurfing is a social media platform where you can pre-book your place of stay. Members of Couchsurfing can interact with one another and confirm their place of stay with the locals available to host the visiting members. I find this platform very easy to use and also one can truly take in the real essense of the place by staying with the locals as compared to staying in hotels admist the luxury and lifelessness. True culture of a place can be experienced. Couchsurfing requires you to simply enter your information for security concerns from then you can directly interact with hosts. Happy using.??
