Couch surfing

Did you know there is a network of couch swappers? There were in fact 3950 couches available in New Zealand at the time of this posting! It works a bit like a social networking site. You put up your profile, say you have a couch available, and people make contact and sleep on your couch when they are passing through on their travels. And of course you can use any one of the members couches when you are cruising around overseas. Have a look at www.couchsurfing.com. – Oily Rag Ed’
