How I Get FREE ACCOMMODATION around the World

  • Last week, I posted a video of my trip to Paris in 2013, and how I was able to travel around Europe for 2 weeks without paying anything for accommodation. In this video, I'm sharing with you the secret.
    Note: When I first joined the community in 2011, membership was free. But you could make an optional donation of (I think) around $10 to get your account verified. A verified account was not compulsory but earned you more credibility and increased your chances to receive invitations.
    However, since Covid happened, they have started to ask new members for a contribution of $14.29 per year, to keep the company afloat. This amount may vary, depending on which country you're from. I'm not sure if they will continue the practice after the pandemic is over, but in any case I think it's still good value for your money especially if you travel a lot. I will update this page if there are any changes. In the meantime, stay safe! 🙂

      You're welcome, Vasuv Vasuv! There are a few other alternatives to Couchsurfing that works almost the same way. 🙂

      Yes, it is, DQ Family Travel. I understand that it may not be for everyone, but the Couchsurfing community is very diverse. Some of the hosts can be families who are eager to meet/host other families. 🙂

    this is nice! i never heard about couchsurfing. it is more fun when we have someone we can get to know when we travel alone.

    • @UmmiGoesWhere
      @UmmiGoesWhere  Před 3 lety

      Exactly! Traveling solo doesn't mean you have to be alone all the time. It actually provides ample opportunity to meet people. And a great way to do so is by staying with locals.

      I agree that this may not be for everyone. Personally, I like connecting with the locals when I travel. It makes my trip more meaningful as I get to see beyond the typical tourist attractions.

    Hahaha nak ikut u travel la lepas nie... Tp kalau i ikut u, dah x jadi solo traveler... jadi duo hahahah...
    Anyway... thanks untuk info ini... But itu la.. i sendiri rasa segan nak tinggal rumah orang for Free.. mesti i akan hulur duit sikit even i tidur rumah kawan i sendiri.

    • @UmmiGoesWhere
      @UmmiGoesWhere  Před 3 lety

      Hahaha, tu la, nanti jadi duo la pulak kan. Anyway, konsep Couchsurfing ni memang tak boleh hulur atau minta bayaran. Kalau rasa nak contribute something, boleh la bawa buah tangan, offer untuk belanja makan, atau tolong apa2 yang patut. Biasanya saya bagi souvenir dari Malaysia atau masak untuk diorang.
