Couch-surfing, anyone?

Has anyone in here heard of this thing called couch-surfing? I think it sounds like an excellent way of getting to meet interesting people and see some "real" places you usually wouldn't see. I think I would definitely give it a try if I had a chance to take a couple of months off from my life.

For those who don't know what couch-surfing is, it's basically exchange of hospitality between strangers. You crash on other people's couches, or any place they can spare for free, and then you move on to the next place. Obviousely there are great risks with this, but there are couch-surfing travel communities online that I'm sure know what they are doing, such as this one. https://www.couchsurfing.org/

So what do you all say we go couch surfing, DXP- style ! Whose couch would you crash on? And would you let DXP members into your home? We should make one of those location maps of DXP members by city, or country!

Should have probably posted it in the travel section but I don't know what the traffic's like there, lol!

I dont mind couch surfing, its common in australia I think....my mum is always bringing backpackers to our house....its normal for me to come home and theres complete strangers in my house.

@Poisson: So you choose a nice family home to crash, not some weird loner guy's couch in the Deep South. Duh! ;P

I'm sorry, I meant "not some weird loner guy's crotch in the Deep South" 😛

The big hanging penis grabbed my attention right off the bat.
