CouchSurfing!

I had gotten a call from my friend in Australia, saying that she'd be working alot and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see all the things I'd want to see. Well that's no problem! I'd read about a site called CouchSurfing.com and quickly signed up as a member and I'm waiting to hear back from two people that might be able to show me around. I love meeting new people so this is great. I haven't packed just yet. I am getting an idea of how much I will be bringing, which is to say, as little as possible. If anyone is planning on travelling, you should check this site out. It doesn't cost anything to be a member and you don't have to have your couch available 24/7. They just say that if anytime in your life, you may want to let someone stay on your couch, you're more than welcome to join. They go over safety and tips and all that good stuff. They offer a verification service too.
