That is just asking for trouble. There are stories out there about guys that kill their whole family...so lets stay with a stranger...you got to be kidding me. I agree, if you cant afford to travel...DONT. People today have totally lost their minds and doing things that you would have never thought in a million years...murdering their family to avoid the pain of not having a place to lay their head at night or money to feed their children...I can really see a horror story coming from couch surfing...when will people learn.
