I guess lots of travel enthusiasts are willing to show their hometown. I have never done couch surfing or house sitting, but in 2012 we have planned a house swap! Kind of house sitting, but this is a real exchange. Thanks! Emiel Hello,

Maybe a great way to see more with the more personal feel! Will have to sign up one of these days. I have thought about couchsurfing – seeing a lot more noise about it.

There are actually people out there that let you stay at their place when you travel. I don't think that I would trust people to stay in my house if I wasn't there. Will have to look a little deeper into this. Great article. I never knew that these were options. There are actually people out there that let you stay at their place when you travel.

Awesome, since I already have some references for that! :D I must emphasize, though, that Tripping is EXACTLY like Couchsurfing--the idea of CS is for it to be a CULTURAL exchange, not just free acommodation. It drives me a little crazy seeing how some ppl have made it seem (or used the site improperly) as if it is simply a way to get free stuff and nothing else. It ISNT. CS was supposed to be exactly like Tripping and I would like to think it still is, minus some (pardon my language) clowns and ppl with no respect for the CS community and what it stands for. Just my 2 cents, if those from a veteran CSer count! ;) Good post–I knew about most of them, but not about the house sitting sites.

Makes you want to be in your 20's again. So many programs in place now to connect people to whatever they are interested in giving a go. Great reference for anyone looking for ideas What a comprehensive list. Makes you want to be in your 20′s again.

I have couchsurfed and hosted as a solo woman many times, I am just very picky about who I meet. I surf with people who have a track record of many positive reviews and I always be sure to leave a review when done as well. I started out just being able to meet for coffee and show people around the town to get some good references. Now I host, but females only, that also have rave reviews. Your local community might have a meet up group too! I highly encourage you to check it out a bit more! Happy surfing :) @ Jessica-
