Couchsurfing story /// Photo @gabrielegalimbertiphoto /// Zhang Yue, 22 – Chongqing, China - Yue studies film directing and shares a room with her friend in this student residence in the center of Chongqing, a megalopolis that is considered a driving force for Chinese production. The campus is a labyrinthine complex built on multiple levels, with six rooms laid out around a communal kitchen. The rooms are austere but fairly large. The only 'furnishings' in Yue's room are the piles of books stacked against the walls. The bad part about the building was the bathroom. Cleanliness wasn't exactly a priority, so taking a shower required a lot of courage. On the morning after my first night there, Yue took me for a walk along the river that runs through the city. We came across some large metal letters – the ones on which I would later take her picture. They seemed to spell out her name, Hao Yue. She explained to me that, in Chinese, Yue means "moon" and so the sign read "shining moon". "I feel a lot more like the sun, though," she told me. "It's a shame that here we almost never get to see it.” /// CouchSurfing is the act of trading hospitality, practiced by the over 15 million members of the CouchSurfing network. A CouchSurfer will stay at the host’s house for a day or more, depending on the arrangement made between the host and the guest. CouchSurfers contact each other through the organization’s nonprofit website, which exists in 33 languages and boasts 20 million hits a day. CouchSurfing was created in order to allow everyone to travel and share the widest possible range of cultural experiences. CouchSurfing is always free, as one of the few rules is that money cannot be exchanged between members. I traveled around the world with CouchSurfing for more than two years in order to discover this young, diverse, multicultural, multiracial global community /// For more stories follow me @gabrielegalimbertiphoto
