Hands up everyone whose business travel plans have been cancelled in the last few weeks due to desperate cost-cutting? That many of you? Well now it's time to turn the clock back to your back-packing years and look into the new cheap-as-chips economy travel mode: couch surfing.
Just sign up on www.couchsurfing.com and soon you could be packing your laptop for Houston or Shanghai to stay in your new friend's guest bedroom (or even on the couch). You'll see a different side of the city, and in return you'll have the pleasure of complete strangers coming to stay in your own home, according to an article on BBC radio.
