Couch surfing is free accommodation, and focuses on the connection between tourists and local private hosts who invite tourists to sleep for free in their homes for a short period. Sleeping can be on the sofa in the living room, in the spare room or in a sleeping bag on the carpet in the study. This is out of goodwill and mutual trust. The cooperative, social, worldwide economy develops and connects people, helps tourists, guides them and shows them the way of life in the country and its culture from the inside. These are exchanges of cultures, exposure and enrichment to both sides, lowering partitions and borders, as they say we are all one global village.
