Survive Future Shock

CouchSurfing.com

A free temporary, travel, short term lodging offer/exchange web network. An establish and robust worldwide directory of free places to stay when traveling.

From their site description: 'CouchSurfing International is a non-profit organization dedicated to the global community. CouchSurfing was created specifically so that everyone can travel the world and partake in cultural exchange. Staying with your host(s) is also always free; it is contrary to the values of CouchSurfing and against our terms of use to charge someone to surf your couch. Many surfers like to bring their hosts gifts or treat them to a meal as a "Thank you," but this is not a requirement. There are infinite ways to reciprocate goodwill.'
