Couch surfing

[Mewsy]

If you want to save a bit of coin on your trips why not crash on some strangers' couch??....

I've never done this nor do I know this is safe.

But if anyone comes back alive with a great story and experience then that would be awesome.

They had a special on the guy who started this on CTV (I think.. maybe CBC) over the weekend. Neat concept, but I think it includes a lot of trust. Apparently is uses an e-bay type of rating system where you can rate the hosts and the guests.

I'd like to hear from anyone who's tried it also.
