CouchSurfing

Want to go travelling, but don’t have the money to stay in posh hotel? Or do want to meet new people while you travelling? Then CouchSurfing is the site for you. There you can either find a place to stay, a couch or new friends to hang out with.

We help to create a better world by opening our homes, our hearts and our lives. We open our minds and welcome the knowledge cultural exchange makes available. We create deep and meaningful connections that cross oceans, continents and cultures. CouchSurfing changes not only the way we travel, but how we relate to the world!

The idea sounds very nice, travelling the world relying on the kindness of strangers, and the occasional acquaintance, for accommodation, but somehow I feel like that I’m done with that sort of travel arrangements. (Eek, does that mean I’ve become a really grown up now?) But if I were still into backpacking I would definitely try it. One can never have to many friends and couches over the globe.
