A

I love travelling，but it hasn't always been my passion (酷爱).In my first year of university，I started to travel during the holidays.During the Christmas holidays I went to Pairs and during the spring vacation，I visited Athens and various cities in Italy.I was very excited because this was the first time I had travelled abroad with just my friends.This desire to travel started off simply as a way to have something to look forward to after exams，but I soon discovered how important it is to travel.

On my travels，I have had the opportunity to not only experience new and exciting cultures through the art，history，language and food，but also communicate with people who have different views on life.Travelling is a learning experience for both yourself and the people you meet.Some people I met during my travels had never heard of Gambia and it was very delightful to share my African roots with them.When you travel you will meet people who have different cultural backgrounds，and as a result，sometimes your own ideas and opinions might be challenged.It's important to learn to see things from other people's perspectives(角度) and to challenge your own.

This is how I realize that travelling is the realization of home.When you travel you're exposed to a different setting(背景)，a different language and a different way of living.All these factors，mixed with a new and exciting adventure，make you realize your own home.Not just the physical location of home，but also your way of life and your outlook.

Travelling is truly an enriching experience and I am always excited about the discoveries that await me in my next adventure!

A while back I caught a news report on something called—couch surfing and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible.They offer to put up travellers free of charge and help them on their ways.At first，it sounded unbelievable.I mean，inviting strangers into one's home for one or two nights？Give me a break!

However，I was 　intrigued　.I decided to investigate.The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in.So I planned a trip to Finland，a country I've always wanted to explore.I would couchsurf at every stop there.

If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown，it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station.Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn：tall and blue­eyed.Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved(寡言少语的).Ari was anything but.He was a live wire，giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment，where he showed me the sleeper sofa，served me tea，and engaged me in warm conversations.He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.

If this was what couchsurfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had got off to a good start.As I boarded my next train to continue my journey，I began to think about this couchsurfing idea.What urged these people to open their homes to strangers？I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like­minded folks who might enrich their own lives.

Seven cities in 14 days.Seven hosts.Seven new friends.If couchsurfing taught me anything，it's this：most people are good and generous.Where will couchsurfing take me next？Who
