Couchsurfing.org is a hospitality exchange network that allows travelers to make web profiles and then use the website to meet hosts and surfers around the world. This not only facilitates cheaper travel, but is meant to develop friendship between strangers in order to bridge cultural boundaries and promote cooperation and selflessness. With the help of researchers at Stanford University that have been studying Couchsurfing.org for several years, the surfers explore the phenomenon of learned trust formation first-hand and find the value of breaking out of one's comfort zone by embracing the good in humanity.
