free accomodation around
the world |
|
I
was just wondering if anyone here has used globalfreeloaders,
hospitalityclub or places to stay? I have just joined up and it
sounds great as i am doing an around the world trip on a tight
budget, but i am a bit hesitant about it.
Any stories good or bad?
Thanks |

I
have used Globalfreeloaders as both a host and a guest. It is a
great idea and I have had excellent experiences. I will be in
Eastern Europe in a couple of months and plan to use
gobalfreeloaders extensively to save $$.
have fun

Hi
there.
I am on my rtw trip and already now (after 2 month), my money
keeps somehow disappearing. So I really need to find a way to cut
down my spendings.
What is the whole globalfreeloders thing??????

It
is the greatest website in the world. I've hosted people and used
it in 3 countries so far. I can't recommend it enough. But please
remember.... globalfreeloaders doesn't work if you aren't willing
to host people yourself. I met a few people who couldn't grasp
this. The idea of staying for free in other countries appealed to
them but not foreigners staying with them....!!! God forbid!

Don't think about it. Just do it.

I
think globalfreeloaders is a great idea and will probably do it
myself sooner or later. The only drawback I could think of is if
you're the kind of traveler who likes to stay in one place and
linger for a while (pretty common here I think). I wouldn't feel
comfortable staying in someone's home more than 2 or 3 days at the
most.

Take the time to talk to people who can't possibly offer you
anything and you'll be amazed at how much you gain. |

I'm
a globalfreeloaders host and have had positive experiences with
it, met some fun people. Will probably use it as a traveler next
time I take off. But yes, don't wear out your welcome trying to
stay more than two or three nights. A guesthouse is much better
for the long term. And in cheap countries where a local hotel room
is four or five bucks, staying with a host is more of a cultural
and learning experience than a money saver.
