Last year, I took a mid-life hiatus from my normal routine and with the aid of a website called couchsurfing.com, traveled around Italy, France and England staying with hosts. I had an excellent adventure and experienced cross-cultural exchange. I see the use of technology allowing us to consider a new travel paradigm that is more economical and fosters beteer international relations. I will share my experiences and tips for doing this safely.
