I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everyone needs to sign up to these hospitality-type websites. Here is the list I have so far:
www.couchsurfing.com
www.hospitalityclub.org
www.globalfreeloaders.com
www.place2stay.net
This is an excellent resource to use while you're traveling but ALSO a way to bring the traveling to you. Lots of people I meet say they love hosting other travelers because it's like traveling without having to leave your house. You get to experience other cultures right in your own living room. Not only that but you get to help out people like me who don't have much money and would rather not spend it just to not sleep outside somewhere. I'm currently staying with my fourth host and each one experience has been amazing in itself. I never would have even thought to come to Bolzano, Italy if Sandro and Rosanna didn't send me such a friendly email. I'm very glad I came now. They are both amazing.
So sign up and meet people like me and the hosts I've stayed with. If you have any questions just ask me.
Oh, and send me emails!
