Stay Don't Pay

>> Couchsurfing
This is a kind of backpacking exchange, created to connect travellers in search of somewhere to sleep to friendly hosts with sofa-space to spare. The site’s philosophy is all about broadening your horizons by meeting a wider range of people.
Freeloading is discouraged – the most active couchsurfers are people who want to spend time with their hosts, do the washing up, or gardening and learn from spending time with new people who are equally open-minded, curious, and generous. Registration is free, you can search for people who welcome visitors in a particular country or region and contact them via the site.
It’s always completely optional to welcome backpackers, and you can choose to only stay see the details who have already been vouched for by other trusted members and verified by a security check. See also:
