Couch Surfing

Now you don't need to spend huge amount of money in hotels while traveling to new places/cities. The new idea that is catching up fast these days is "Couch Surfing". It means people can visit each others city and can share his/her apartments with the guests. Let's take an example, suppose you want to visit a state say, Kerela and you don't want to spend money on costly hotels. All you need to do is find a person (which I will tell you below how) who is interested in sharing his/her apartment/house with you during your visit. The person can also guide you to roam around in the city. The best thing about this is that person will not charge you any money. And the same applies to you when this person visits your place/city.

Now the main thing is how to find such person. The solution is here - http://www.couchsurfing.org/

I am not advertising this website. I just liked the idea and found out this website, so sharing it with you all.
