Free Accomodation in Paradise

FREE ACCOMODATION IN EXOTIC DESTINATIONS

Sound too good to be true? It isn’t!

Thousands of budget conscious travellers are signing up to www.couchsurfing.com to access free accommodation on locals’ couches or in their spare bedrooms.

How Does It Work?

With upwards of 200,000 members in over 200 countries each member posts a detailed profile of him/herself with photos and members interested in taking up accommodation can get to know one another by chatting online. Safety is a priority and no member is obliged to agree to any accommodation request from another member. When one couchsurfer stays with (or even just meets another) they’re encouraged to leave an online reference for everyone else to read.

What Are the Benefits?

As well as being free, members have the opportunity to connect with the culture in a way they might not in a hotel room. Many hosts are happy to show their guests around town, cook meals for them and introduce them to friends. Many grateful guests reciprocate with the offer of accommodation at their home and members can form lasting friendships.

Is it Safe?

The site has guidelines for would-be guests and hosts on how to organise exchanges as well as safety and general etiquette. Meeting members initially in a public place is recommended for more cautious surfers, particularly women travelling alone.

Other Options

If couchsurfing isn’t for you there are other options. www.sleepinginairports.net offers a guide to the most comfy airports to snooze in worldwide. You can’t get much more public than that! If your bones demand a greater level of comfort there’s always Hostelling International www.hihostels.com. Not exactly free, but some of the best value accommodation available!
