I'll be going on vacation in a few weeks, and I'm still trying to find a place to stay that won't put a huge dent in my wallet. One of my friends suggested <a href="http://www.couchsurfing.com/">CouchSurfing</a> to find a place to stay. Basically, people offer their couches for you to stay on while you are traveling. Having never done something like this, I'm a little tentative to try it when I can stay with people I know at a hotel although it will be pretty expensive. I was wondering if anyone who has done this before has any insights or experiences to share. Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated too.
