Couch Surfing!

I was discussing accommodation options with a mate at work on Friday and he suggested i look into The Couch Surfing Project - couchsurfing.org. Founded in 2004, it's a community that connects travellers the world over, who offer their couches to fellow members! As of August 2008, it had more than 700,000 members in 232 countries!

What an amazing way to experience the world! You always strive to have a real local experience when you're abroad - what better way than through a massive homestay network!

So I’ve just registered and will spend the evening approaching some CS's in Los Angeles - hopefully I can find a few locals who have some availability! Certainly beats staying in a stale hotel room by myself!

So hello to anyone who’s stopped by from CS – if you don’t have any availability but want to catch up for a beer get in contact!
