Tourist sofa guest

With the increase of the number of tourists, the ways of travel and accommodation are becoming more and more diversified. Hotels, resorts, homestays, youth hostels and farmhouses ... diversified accommodation choices meet different travel needs. Among them, as a new way of traveling, couch surfers advocate sleeping on other people's sofas for free and enjoying the local beauty under the guidance of the sofa owner, which is welcomed by more and more young travelers.

Chen Xi, a white-collar worker working in Hohhot, tried to travel by sofa for the first time on National Day this year. "We decided to travel to Chengdu temporarily. When we booked the accommodation, we found that all the suitable ones were full. We thought about changing the way of traveling and looking for a sofa owner who was willing to receive us on the sofa guest website in advance. I didn't expect to find it."

Chen Xi said that his sofa owner enthusiastically gave him a lot of travel advice and invited him to chat and share their travel stories in the evening. Sofabed is not only a free way to stay, but also pays more attention to the exchange of different cultures. For many sofa owners who provide sofas, the original intention of receiving sofas from all over the world is to "let the world visit you when you have no chance to go out and see the world."

The travel of couch potatoes is sometimes full of adventures, and sometimes it is hard to avoid hardships. Ma Qianli, a university student in Beijing, also chose to visit Yunnan as a couch potato during this short holiday, but he encountered many inconveniences in the sofa owner's home in Kunming.

Advantages:

When driving to other countries in the country or city, you can sleep on the sofa at home, enjoy free and more intimate service guides and eat the most authentic local food. You can even use the car and TV like an old friend. When you go to China, you can sleep on the sofa or come to your host.

Of course, the "sofa" is just a symbol here. Maybe the ocean is waiting for you. It is a big and warm bed. The best part is that the other part is not only a site travel map and a guide to local culture, but also a companion who is very satisfied with you.

Disadvantages:

1. Security issues.

At present, couch surfing tourism mainly establishes contact through the network, and the virtual network world is more or less dangerous. Since the website was built, there have been different voices in the world questioning its security and feasibility. At present, the threshold for couch surfing to become a member is relatively low, and members can be added only through online registration.

2. Trust.

At present, interpersonal relationships in China are relatively commercialized, and people often complain about the lack of trust between people in Weibo, forums or the media. China was originally an acquaintance society, and trust was mostly confined to family members and acquaintances. People used to treat different people with whom they interacted differently according to their familiarity, and they instinctively had a sense of prevention and distrust of strangers.
