I just got back from traveling through Europe for four months where I didn't pay for accomodation. Seriously. Has anyone else ever heard of this? I used a handfull of websites, my favorite being
www.CouchSurfing.com. The others include
www.hospitalityclub.org and
www.globalfreeloaders.com. I'm about to take a trip through the US on my motorcycle using these sites to meet some more people and not pay for a place to stay. It's loads of fun. You should check them out if you haven't heard of them.
