So for those of you who haven’t already, go check out CouchSurfing.com immediately. You won’t be disappointed.
Last week they had a major server crash, but have risen as a phoenix from the ashes to form their 2.0 version… and it’s great.
The idea is awesome, and their hearts are totally in the right place. First of all, they’re a non-profit social networking site that wants to stay tight knit with good people. Secondly, they’re a collective of travelers and high-minded idealists trying to foster positive interactions with people from all over the globe. All valuable things.
But most importantly, friends, they are an amazing and cheap way to travel. I’ve couch-surfed for years before the “Inter-Web” weaseled it’s way into every facet of our daily lives. It has done so, admittedly in many super annoying ways. CouchSurfing.com, though, embodies all that is good and wonderful about instant inter-global communications.
Do if for yourself. Do it because a network of like-minded souls is probably the most powerful tool any Poverty Jet Setter could ever wish for.
If you do join, come friend me up at my profile.
