3. Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a beautiful movement which definitely changed the traveling scene. It’s a community of travelers who stay at each other’s houses for free. Bear in mind that the main goal is not to save money, but to create meaningful relationships with other people.
I’ve used Couchsurfing in the Czech Republic, Austria, and England among other countries, and always had a wonderful time. Staying at people’s houses gives you a completely new perspective of the culture. You can see their fridge, their arts and crafts, and most importantly, you have access to a local person with emotions, ideas, and opinions!
Relationships based on trust (not money) are special and Couchsurfing can give you that.

The truth is that with a little bit of planning and initiative, it’s actually harder to be alone than you think.
