I like the site because it has tips and information from travelers just like us.<br /><br />One thing I have found that you can save so much money by taking local transportation and not just in the US. When I traveled to Hong Kong that's all I used to get around and it was great. Also in Los Angeles, CA everyone says you need a car - NOT TRUE. I travel there and never needed a car or taxi.Joanne Olivierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856998108256408734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-781684703021165202010-05-20T00:26:41.972+08:002010-05-20T00:26:41.972+08:00Hi..

Although most people might be skeptical about sleeping on a stranger's house, it's actually a great way of saving money when traveling. to find a good host, i'd suggest you always look for the profiles based on only good testimonials written by other travellers on the website. we had a great coachsurfing experience in Athens, Vienna and Moscow. <br /><br />http://www.couchsurfing.org/life ramblingshttp://everythingpeace.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-46931645795901477472010-05-19T17:52:38.007+08:002010-05-19T17:52:38.007+08:00@foong,
