  Couch Surfing

  When is the last time you did something just to help someone out. Getting nothing in return, yet feeling like you got plenty. If you have traveled and can sympathize with young travelers, this is a co-op worth joining. I joined earlier this year and have been able to help a little over a bakers dozen of travelers.

  These travelers come from all across the world as well as out own backyards. I had a couple from Australia wrapping up their one year tour of the world in the US who stayed and felt they got a true DC and USA experience because they were able to stay with an "American", well in my case a Korean American. I have had someone from as close as Staunton, VA stay so she could meet her friend from Florida at the airport and see the city with her. They all got to stay in a relatively nice condominium a stones throw away from the major tourist sites in DC for free, so now they had more money to spend on other things like buying trinkets for friends and family.

  Go check the site out and maybe join in a GOOD cause. You will be rewarded by making new friends around the world. And next time you are in their neck of the woods, you can meet up with them or even stay on their couch. Although as I get older, the idea of sleep on couches on my vacation doesn't sound too appealing. Enjoy. www.couchsurfing.com

  response to  Yvonne Puig and Casey Kelbaugh's post Slideshow Buffet

  New meaning to Dinner and a Show.

  Although Casey has had only one event in Washington, DC, it is well worth attending a Slideluck event if you are fortunate enough to find out about it. The food that is present is as diverse as the people in attendance. So, basically you can get dinner, drinks and a show for almost nothing. At the last event in DC, the cost of attending was to bring a dish or some drinks. I believe now they are looking for donations. I also know that there are plans for another DC event. If you hear of it don't miss it.
