Couchsurfing

A couple years ago, I was planning a cross country motorcycle trip, and I arranged for a place to stay in every city I was planning on visitng through Craigslist. The ads offered a place to stay at my place here in NYC, if they put me up at their place when I was in town. Unfortunately, I crashed that bike on the Long Island Expressway coming home from a weekend in Montauk, so I didn't get to go. About a year ago I was thinking how great it would be if there was a website where people could exchange a crashpads while traveling. That's how I discovered Couchsurfing.com.

I've got next week off, and I've decided to go up to Albany for some political activism. I've lined up a place to crash off couchsurfing.com. Lets see how it goes.
