CouchSurfing. A word that didn't mean anything to us ten days ago. But thanks to friends of friends, we have discovered the wonderful world of CouchSurfing.
CouchSurfing is an incredible online world of world travelers.
Their mission: Creating a Better World, One Couch at a Time.
Some fabulous statistics to keep you interested:
-There is over 619,000 CouchSurfers
-About 650,000 friendships created
-Over 1 million positive experiences!
-231 countries represented
CouchSurfing has been riding the waves strong since 2006. The site was ready and running for the world in 2004, but then experienced a crash, and was redesigned to what we have today.
CouchSurfing is free, but as we explore this CouchSurfing world we discover that the free part isn't even close to being the best thing about this concept. It is about the learning, teaching and sharing of each others cultures. It is about the friendships that are created. It is about seeing the country in another light; instead of jumping on the tour buses, you explore the country as a local.
We were hooked. We signed up, created a profile and have been persistently surfing for couches throughout Europe.

Hi Girls!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
Yours looks great, and the couchsurfing does indeed seem like a way to meet people other than tourists! :)
So, Yogurt Works is in the Kiehls shopping center on the corner of Navajo and Jackson. And Yogurtland is in the Campus Plaza (near Vons) right by SDSU! :)
