I watched Jessica Soho last Saturday and it was really worth to wait for it. They always have new topic to give to their audience.
In their segment they feature about the traveling around the globe only by a couch.
This site is more like upgraded mylot. They said this feature from a movie. But I didn't get the title of it. But this is more about swapping life to other life. Or experience the beauty of your dream country.
But on this site you must under go many verification before you can start chatting and look for your desired country to spend on. And also you have $11.47 to pay.
But this is really worth it. I will try it once I receive my next payment here in mylot.

I have heard about couch surfing and it seems a great way to afford a trip for a single person or a couple but not a family. I recently saw a program about a lady that tried out free traveling. She hitched a ride in cars from London to Norwich and stayed at home on their sofa bed arranged through couch surfing. She went through garbage bins to find food to eat. Coming back to London she went in just the one car all the way home.
I travel with my 4 year old disabled son and 2 year old daughter. My son is in a wheelchair. I prefer to stay in a locally owned guest house because I need at the minimum a triple bedded room. If I was on my own I would try out couch surfing but I now come with my children. I hope that you have fun trying out couch surfing.

I've also seen it on Jessica Soho last Saturday. That was the first time I've heard of it. It's based on the movie "The Holiday" starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Black Jack and Jude Law. I hope the site you are referring to is reliable, hopefully they also make back ground checks on their members. I'm hesitant to try couchsurfing to be honest. I might end up visiting a psycho. I don't want to endangered myself in exchange to saving a few bucks seeing my dream place.

I confess that until today, I had never heard of ‘couch surfing’! I checked out the site and learned a little more about it. It sure sounds interesting and a fun way to meet others in a big way. It sounds good if it legitimate and safe. I look forward to learn more about it that’s for sure...

Hiya syoti,
Not heard of this one at all not even in the Traffic Exchanges where I am on every so often.
Have been to the page the main one and have been reading it.
Sounds interesting enough but I don´t think its my thing really at least not at the moment.
I make do with Facebook as it is all I have time for.
There are a couple of programs on the Television at the moment where I am learning an awful lot and without even travelling anywhere.
I much prefer Facebook because I am with who I want to be with and I know them from before from a long time back.
It could be a great thing for some I think.
Also I love the name of it and I like the way they have set it up but it is not for me at this moment in time.
Thanks very much for posting about this one. Very helpful too.

I'm sort of confused. What site are you talking about? is it called couchsurfing? I guess I could go check it out on my own. How exactly does a person go around the globe on a couch anyway? Do you mean sleeping on people's couches instead of in a hotel?
