There is a sort of tourists that don’t like staying at hotels. They prefer to stay at someone’s place even if they don’t know the host well, and offer hospitality at their place in return. There are many sites for search of people that like this sort of traveling. One of them is http://www.couchsurfing.com/ where people from different nooks of our planet place their ads and offer to stay at their places (not necessarily couch) to all people traveling through their city (and there are about 9000 cities on the site). You can contact them and get to know if they can host you for the time that meets your convenience. Most visitors of the site don’t look for free lodging, but want to explore the place of traveling or transit on a deeper level than an ordinary tourist does. This is why they stay at the place of someone who lives in the city and knows it well. The motive of hosts is meeting different people living in different places of the world and representing all sorts of aspects and lifestyles. Besides, it will enable them to go on the same kind of trip some day.
