I finished WWOOFing a few days ago and now I'm back in Rangiora with Pheonix's parents. It's been kind of a slow week here, lots of rain, lots of planning for South America (gulp), and lots of eating Big Bikkies (again, gulp). Without any pressing moments of hilarity to report, I thought I would let you guys know about one of the ways Pheonix and I have been making our travels more kick ass and affordable:
Couchsurfing.
(Mom, Dad, don't freak out.) Basically we sleep on random peoples' couches around the world. We use individual accounts to search for cool people who live in the places we want to visit. Then, emails are sent, accounts are examined, more emails are sent, and then we meet, we hang out, and we sleep on their couch. (Note: we have yet to sleep on an actual couch. So far we've had big cozy beds in guest rooms. Hot.)
So, I get to meet rad people, learn about new places from people who live there, and keep things on the cheap. Um... yes, please.
Join right now and start offering your couch to people like me. For reals, it's way kick ass. Way.
