COUCHSURFING


The experience I have lived is the most interesting to express in this entry of the couchsurfing.
It is a trend that is latent in Europe and the rest of the continent. It arises from the need for young people to travel and find accommodation in on those trips because of low budget.
The couchsurfing can be defined as the phenomen of young travelers through the resources of the English language the desire to see the world and the desire to communicate. Birth of a social network exclusively for the needs of this phenomen.
                                    
My experience with this takes place in the youth center where I work.
The youth center is located in a tourist area caled El Medano. House of windsurfing and kitesurfing worldwide known. Many young people from around the world are comming here.
For example: Adam Polish windsurfer, Víctor from Alicante also windsurfer.
These young people go through couchsurfing becouse they want to travel around the world to make their sport.
I explained the functioning of this social network that is based on self off the couch you have in your apartament. Different people interested in traveling and making friends around the world meet people who have the same needs as you and adapt.
Adam and Víctor have meet through this social network. They get good friends and decided to rent a flat on Tenerife to make their dream come true to live and windsurf in a place like this. We have a place in the appartament to continiue couch-surfing. By this exchange we make the possibility for the other participants to visit the island and do it in cheap way.

I put the link to watch one of the hundreds of pages that have emerged through this phenomen:

The base of this network is traveling with the backpack from place to place. Every traveler in the network make coments about hospitality and accomodation quality.
