]]> Most passionate travelers use Couchsurfing to find free accommodation, but not everyone has luck finding a perfect host on this website. If Couchsurfing simply isn’t your thing, try these three alternatives to score free accommodation and meet some amazing people along the way.

Workaway

This is the most popular platform for arranging homestays and cultural exchange, and it’s based on volunteer work. You’re expected to work for a certain amount of hours every day in exchange for lodging and food. This is a great option for travelers who want to spend a couple of months in a new place and get some work experience.

Home Swaps

Home swaps also allow you to find free accommodation without feeling indebted to someone. You won’t have to spend any money to find a place to stay in a new city, as long as you manage to find someone interested in exchanging their home for yours.

Facebook Groups

Travel-themed Facebook groups are the best place to get in touch with like-minded people. Fellow travelers know how difficult it can be to find cheap accommodation, and some of them may be happy to host you. There are even groups dedicated to finding accommodation, such as Host a Sister.

]]> There’s no more affordable way to find accommodation during your travels than Couchsurfing, but it’s definitely not for everyone. At the end of the day, it all comes down to finding a good host, and here’s a couple of steps you should take when looking for one.

Amazing Feedback

You should be really thorough when looking for a new Couchsurfing host, and check out their entire profile before getting in touch. Make sure to read all of the reviews, see if people who previously stayed with them had any complaints, and once you’ve gone through everything – feel free to message them.

Great Vibes

Liking a host’s profile doesn’t automatically mean you’ll hit it off right away. See if the communication between you flows naturally once you start texting back and forth. Address any concerns you may have, so you know you’re on the same page before agreeing to stay at their home.

Time to Meet

When you rent a room on Airbnb or Booking, it’s natural to immediately head to the address that your host provided, but that’s not the case with Couchsurfing. It’s always better to meet them in a public place at first, and there’s probably something fishy going on if they’re against it.

Sometimes connecting with another Couchsurfer is the thing that transforms an ordinary city into an extraordinary experience. Like when Christian was able to show Ludivine the best parts of Lima. "Lima isn't the city I have preferred in Peru, perhaps because it was a rainy, gray, winter weather or because it was a big crowded city. this is the main reason why I didn’t spend much time there. Yet, I have to thank a super local guy I have met through couch-surfing (hi @christian_26m) he gave @bethany.mulley and I the occasion to visit the town like locals. My favorite part was for sure this fountain park where lovebirds would walk around and enjoy a simple, lovely moment together.💞 📸@lulavine . . . . . #shareyourlife #couchsurfing #couchsurfer#couchsurfingfriendship #peru #adventuretime#exploretheworld #wheretonext #lovetraveling #nomadlife#worldtraveler #travel #traveler #explorer #wanderlust#letsgoeverywhere #adventure #lovetotravel #aroundtheworld#instapassport #instatravel #getaway #seetheworld#backpacker #traveladdict #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #passportready
