Guo Ruixie: Internet-driven, couch-guest travel

Want to travel but have no money to pay for expensive restaurants? Or do not like fixed days of travel, live in the tourist enclave, and the locals do not contact? Starting in 2004, there was a new way of traveling online: Overnight on a stranger's couch.

For example, Couchsurfing.com is a couch guest group on the Internet. More than 300,000 people from 220 countries provide free shelter for the traveller, dine with guests, or lead guests to visit the city and the tavern.

"This way of traveling is rich in content. If I could use a word to describe the couch, it would be: rich. You can get to know a lot of people here, sometimes you can't help falling in love with them. I don't know, it's really rich. A travel enthusiast said. He had contacted the couch for the first time two months ago, and since then he has not considered other ways of travelling. At that time he was traveling in South Korea, staying at a restaurant in Seoul, and not knowing any of the locals. I met two girls by looking for a couch. We had dinner together and they took me on a tour of the city. I started to like the idea, because this is the way I have been looking forward to meet friends and travel. ”

The rise of this group is nothing more than the most attractive couch tourism-save money. It is said that Taiwan's tourist talent Lin Honglin roaming Europe 11 countries, 23 cities have saved 300,000 yuan of travel capital. The rapid development of the tourism search engine has become a powerful hand of the sofa-guest trend. A few days ago in the cool News International ticket channel, appeared the price of 4 yuan Guangzhou fly Singapore, if according to local price calculation, do a 7-day Singapore depth tour will not exceed 3000 9001.html "> RMB, far below the market for the same holiday products." Perhaps the sofa will be a group of tourists after the donkey friends.
