We recently became aware of three new sites that might provide you with an alternative to paying for a hotel room the next time you're out of town. For those who think hostels are too pricey you might want to try crashing on somebody's couch instead. We're not sure what kind of nuts offer up their sofas to complete strangers, but if you want to give it a try you can check out either CouchSurfing, GlobalFreeloaders, or the innocuously named Hospitality Club (well, this last one is more just to meet people when you're traveling, not specifically to crash at their place). CouchSurfing seems the hippest of the bunch.
