Meet 14 People Around The World Who Will Let You Sleep With Them For Free
Let's say you're traveling to a foreign city where you don't know anyone. The idea of living in a hotel and getting tips from a guide book doesn't excite you. Happily there's a startup designed just for people like you.Tripping is a network that connects travelers with hosts in more than 130 countries. CEO Jen O'Neal describes the difference between Tripping and sites like CouchSurfing is a newer interface and a sophisticated reference system to promote safety.
Also Tripping offers more than homestays. Members also connect for travel tips and cups of coffee. "I don't just go to tripping when I want to be hosted, I also check it out for news from other travelers, to chat with other members," says Rease Kirchner, a Tripper in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

"In college I had a group of friends to take road trips with. But it wasn’t enough, and my friends couldn’t keep up with me. This is when I started to travel on my own. It got wilder once I graduated college, and the summer between college and my job I traveled like there was no tomorrow, doing a month in Europe backpacking solo, three weeks driving across USA, and a week in Jamaica."
