CinchedWaist Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 So- before I go on to grad school and leave sweet home chicago for a minimum of 5 years, I want to go to Europe. The thing is, I'm pretty short on $$. So it was more of a dream until I heard of this program where you can stay with people in Europe for free. In their apartments and all. It sounds kinda sketchy, but many of the people on this site are vouched for by other travellers. And obviously I am going to try to stay with girls instead of guys by all means. If I use this system, I can potentially travel all throughout Europe for 2 months. That is, if I really have the courage. I will be going on my own since none of my friends really like to travel or since they're just broke. So what I really want to know is if any of you guys have done this kind of thing before. Any not so obvious advice? I'm thinking of doing this next summer so I have time to ponder my decisions. Here is a couple of sausage links: couch surfing another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENOJOS Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 you must not look at porn sites often. there is one called "european traveler" or some shit, where the girl comes in for free room and board only to find out she has to get naked and masturbate or fuck some dude. youre about to be a star!

CinchedWaist Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 o my. That's quite silly. Made me laugh though. No, that will not be happening to me. Some of the guys on that site look like they could be that way though. Too bad you're not in Europe, ABC. I have relatives somewhere in Australia. I'll go visit them one day and go see you in the process. We'll play chess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went the camping and hostel route. Go in the off season and it'll be even cheaper. I might be able to hook you up with places to stay in Barcelona, Frieburg, Munich, Milan, Moscow and Kiev...but I'm not sure...they're fairly new contacts exept for Barcelona and Munich.

Harvey Wallbanger Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I did about a month in Europe, mostly just staying in hostels... you can find some really cheap ones that aren't bad if you look around. I also wound up crashing with some people that I met while I was over there, but i'm neither a girl or all that attractive. Hence, no HarveyWellbanged.UK site. It can be a little sketchy, but if you are good at reading people and know how to take care of yourself (i.e., kick a dude in the blocks and run when it becomes necessary) you should be okay.

TresOne Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 how about travelling somewhere that doens't have the highest exchange rate? I seriously suggest Thailand, or anywhere in Southeast Asia for that matter. I travelled around Thailand this summer for 2+ months, and it cost me just over $3500 Canadian - not bad when you consider that the flights alone cost $2500. Backpaking on a budget is the only way to really see a country / countries anyways. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fondles Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've been putting some serious consideration into backpacking Europe for some time now. I hear I can do it for about $3000, and that's drinking a beer or two everyday. My plane ticket will be dirt cheap round trip, as my sister works for an airline and I get tickets off 80% worldwide. Some couches to hit would be nice from time to time. I'm sure the hostels get kinda tiresome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26SidedCube Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I just realized that for every .com porn site there's probably a .uk, .ca, and .de equivalent. My life has new purpose. Thanks cinched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
