I am an avid backpacker who is always looking for the cheapest and most authentic accommodations possible. I have personally used Airbnb (as both a traveller and a host), couch surfing and tons of hostels. I am going to Au pair in Spain as a way to travel and live for 2 months this summer and in the fall I am heading to Peru where I plan to try a variety of lodging options including home stays. From my previous travels and my upcoming adventures I would have a lot of original material to write with as well as original photos that could be posted on the blog. I have travelled in the US, Europe, Mexico, South America and Asia so far.
