Couch Surfing - Get Cheap Accomodation and gain friends

by Noel on July 19th, 2006

couch surfingThere’s a great and cheap way to get accomodations to practically every country in the world. It is called couch surfing (couchsurfing.com)

Here’s the main idea about this concept.

CouchSurfing.com helps you make connections worldwide. You can use the network to meet people and then go and surf other members’ couches! When you surf a couch, you are a guest at someone’s house. They will provide you with some sort of accommodation, a penthouse apartment or maybe a back yard to pitch your tent in. Stays can be as short as a cup of coffee, a night or two, or even a few months or more. When you offer your couch, you have complete control of who visits. The possibilities are endless and completely up to you.

You can travel the world and not worry about accomodation. Just bring a laptop with you and search for available couches and “book” your accomodation.

If you are a woman and wanted to travel alone, couch surfing has some very important safety tips. I guess the best way is not to travel alone. It is not much fun to travel alone. Since this is a cheap way to travel, why not bring a friend along.
