This could also end up with you spending some time in jail... many nations do not take kindly to people who do not have a place to stay...
Don't kid yourself about this. Plan ahead, to some extent. Trying to be Jack Kerouac in a county where you cannot speak the language will not be what you think. People do not just open their homes for you... would you expect people in the west to just open their homes to a wanderer with a back pack... why would you expect anyone else to do this?
