CS-1
this blog was specially created for me to write abt my various travels.. experiences... funny, scary... moments.. i haven't quiet started doing all that.. but i definitely would like to start with a website that has added a lot more meaning to my life, has made me come out of that"stuck up" person that i had turned my self into, very closed to meeting people...
for those of you who don't know what CS is, it stands for couch surfing, now in order to get to know more about this site, visit- www.couchsurfing.com
i was introduced to this site, by my friend kannan's wife- Preetha
Looking back i have no idea how I even imagined staying over at a random person's house with no idea whatsoever on what kind of person he or she might turn out to be. But then all 3 of my experiences with CS were wonderful ones! I met amazing people from different walks of life with a passion to travel. the passion and the need to travel was so high that it did not matter who they were or what they did for a living!1 all that mattered was that there was a roof above the head, a bud to sleep in and food to eat(sometimes)
you could have conversation for hours on end, you could end up getting a very different perspective on life and you would have made a friend for life in the 1 or 2 days that you do get to spend time with this stranger in his or her house!!
We have always known that being a tourist you only get to mostly do touristy stuff, but staying with a local who has lived for generations on end there throws a different life into your attitude towards the place you are visiting! you get to eat their food, share their lives and be a part fo whatever it is they do!!
check out he link and enjoy CS if you are the adventurous kind
