Couchsurfing:A Fun and Frugal Way to Travel

World-travelImage via WikipediaDo you dream of travel but think the cost is beyond you means? Hotel rooms can sometimes be hard to book and high priced. Several nights away from home can be a real strain on a vacation budget. Why not couchsurf instead and save your vacation dollars for fun stuff!

Couchsurfing is a social network and website that has participants in over 250 countries. Travelers can find a willing host who will cheerfully offer you a place to bunk in their home, or folks willing to take you around to see the sights and enjoy the local culture.

You can also sign up to sponsor a traveler to return the favor!

About Me

My photo
I am a freelance writer, Reiki master, and educator, with diplomas in teacher's aide and child psychology, and numerous writing courses. I home schooled my son, who was born 10 weeks early and was expected to have developmental and learning lags. In 6th grade, he took an 8th grade standardized achievement test, and scored as a college sophomore in math and English. It inspired me to write a book, which I have given away for free! It is called Make your Kid a Genius, and can be downloaded at my website http://www.irenehelenzundel.com I am passionate about alternative healing methods; especially Reiki, aromatherapy, acupressure, therapeutic massage and music and sound therapy.
