This is going to sound slightly off the wall, but whatever.
The reason I'm making this thread is that I plan to do some traveling this Spring/Summer, but I want to (A) not spend a shitload of money, and (B) be able to hang out with people I like. So, what I'm trying to find out is whether any GMDers who live somewhere I would be interested in traveling are willing to share living space with me for probably 2-3 weeks (i.e. possibly the weeks following MDF, but I need to make sure I can get time off first). I could pay maybe 10-15 USD per day for housing (negotiable) depending on the accommodations.
I mostly want to visit Europe or California, but if you live somewhere else and want to have me over I will certainly consider other places (except for New England, as it's not quite 'exotic' enough for this trip and I've already met a lot of you folks; Midwestern U.S. is probably off the list too).
Also, I don't expect to be 'babysat' for the whole time I'm there, but I would want you to be comfortable showing me around your area for at least a couple of days and introducing me to some of your pals. I'm pretty introverted, but I'm not shy about meeting new people and I think I hold a conversation pretty well.
There's a whole lot of other details to cover of course, but I'll wait to see if anyone actually takes me up on this. And, uh, if anyone else has use for this thread for their own traveling desires then feel free to post here. I tried to give it a suitably generic title.
