Couch Collecting

Over the past few days I've been collecting contacts on Couchsurfing from various cities. Hopefully one or two of people can have me crash at their place on my trip for a night and help me experience places with a local as a guide!

The site is amazing. The idea is you search for anybody who has a couch available in the area and you can request to sleep on their couch for a night while you're travelling. Of course you can do the same yourself and host anybody from anywhere to crash for a night on your own couch.

This would be much more in preference to camping out alone all the time or staying at hostels which would 1. cost me money and 2. not give me many opportunities for meeting local people.
