Is anybody on here part of that?
A friend of mine is on the Serbian leg of a 5-week European tour right now, shooting a documentary on Couchsurfing. He says the community is amazing. I just signed up for it and was wondering if any CAGs wanted to "befriend" me on their site.
For those too lazy to read the article, basically it's a system where people all across the world offer free lodging to other world travelers. It's a give-and-take thing, and it's essentially trust-based. You build your credentials by meeting other Couchsurfers, making friends, getting good feedback, and generally becoming a part of the community. Pretty fantastic idea for cheap-asses like us.
