Useful traveling links

Useful links for traveling like I did

Couchsurfing

Probably the most famous of these links. A portal where you can either find hosts when you travel, or host guests if you have a place to stay and something to offer to sleep, from just a corner of a room, to a private extra bedroom. Sleeping should be free, and meeting locals is very probably the most important and unique part of a trip we have to experience
