Free tourism

[Eat the Rich]

To be honest I took this idea from exchange students.
I take that most of us here are pretty poor, at least a lot of us cannot afford hotels, tickets, eating outside etc. without making some sacrifices.
I also take that most of us live in places that other people here want to visit. For example I want to visit Europe and someone in Europe wants to visit North America etc.

Then why not sort of organize a "travel group" where people can stay at people's houses for free for a small period of vacation time ? (usualy 5-10 days).

I think security is an issue, so I'd reccomend not trusting people who are new to revolutionary politics, or who sound lunatic. I don't know if anyone here is interested, so I'm just throwing a suggestion.

PS: I want to visit London :lol:

This is already done on http://www.couchsurfing.org/, and is a better and safer place.

I'd take gladly someone... Problem is, where as my communal apartment has an extra bed... In the common area, I live in the middle of motherfucking nowhere. So if someone wants to see... nothing, PM me.

I used to travel to Italy to my friends' family couple of times this way. He then came to us for a month when I still lived with parents. I'd say that this is the only way to go on a holiday. If you just book a hotel room all you see is museums and beaches. When you have a local "guide" you get some in depth tourism to a foreign culture.

EDIT: No wait!!! There is a zoo just across the lake with an arctic theme.

Excactly! Plus the guide is a comrade, so he can show you around in the local revolutionary "scene".

You can also squat-travel. Of course you'll have to find squats and hope that they'll let you in.

[rebelmouse]

in switzerland, almost all squats will let you to sleep one week, for more, they must speak with you to know more about you. in germany, you must have recommendation to sleep there in squats.
there is website www hospitalityclub org (it is world network of free places for sleeping at private homes of people)
