Welcome back to WANDEROUS, my new podcast about upgrading your consciousness — disguised as a show about world travel.
At the very least, you can live vicariously through my weird experiences.
This week’s episode is an intro to the weird and wonderful world of Couchsurfing!
Couchsurfing.com is how I stayed for free my entire time in London, Swindon, and even Scotland. I also share a story about a strange request from my couchsurfing host. First time for everything, I guess.
Good thing I had a good CS host in London, because getting a SIM card that would work in Europe was not as straightforward as you’d think!
Show notes:
Couchsurfing.com - Travel Hospitality Exchange (perhaps the only real social network)
An ancient blog post about my visit to Texas to see The Polyphonic Spree (the first trip I ever used Couchsurfing.com) Warning: it’s very boring, and my writing style has changed a lot since then: https://myth.li/2008/06/the-7th-annual-holiday-extravaganza/
The Tube Map app I used while in London
The SIM card I used in Europe. Best deal I could find: https://smarty.co.uk
