Montpellier, France

Montpellier was a nice but pretty average city as far as coolness goes, but it was a very different experience from other cities because we used couchsurfing for the first time. Couchsurfing is a site where you can connect with people from different countries who are looking to host travellers from around the world and stay with them. We ended up staying with a guy there who was really cool - he took us to bars with his friends, helped us around the city, jammed with me on guitar, and even gave us a key to his apartment. I liked the experience a lot people I got to see a bit more of the local culture than I usually do when just doing touristy type stuff, and it also saved a lot of hotel and hostel costs. Its pretty amazing the amount of trust that people can have after only knowing someone for a day.

Nevertheless, here are some photos from around the city.
