No problem just go to Couch Surfing (http://www.couchsurfing.com/index.html)and you're set.
When my bro who just got back from 2 weeks hoping between France and Spain told me about this, I thought he BSing and then I looked it up
Quick reaction - WTF?!
Longer reaction - Well this is kinda cool but how can this even remotely be safe? Especially after the Craig list killer something like this would be a no way in hades for me.
So is this a good idea or a bad idea? Would you use something like this?
That's pretty cool... I think I would use it kinda like Ebay- buy off of the people who have the most positive ratings n stuff so I don't get jipped. And probably with same-sex people.

They've got a lot of programs like that. I remember reading about several of them in an article on cheap ways to travel.
I don't remember all of them, but I know one of them you just help work, do some household chores or fieldwork, in exchange for a place to stay. I think there's another one where you're obligated to provide housing for them on a trip to your area, like wife swap, only with houses. Okay, bad example.
I don't know... Seems too easy to exploit. You might find yourself sold off to some sex den.
I didn't know there was a Craig's List killer. X.x; Scary.
