Couch Surfing...the new super-cheap, great way to travel?

So I was watching the news tonight and learned about a relatively new idea of couch-surfing.

check out the website: Couchsurfing.com

This is just a wonderful idea (in my opinion) that only the Internet can offer up.

You offer your couch as a potential resting space for a complete stranger - usually in another part of the country if not another country entirely.

Then, when you want to visit their country they save their couch for you to stay at and show you around town as well.

Plus the only thing you 'pay' to stay on the stranger's couch is an IOU for them to do the same when they visit your city or town.

I would sign up in an instant if my apt weren't so cramped.
