Just Doing IT: Traveling, Random Sports, Interests, and flipping off your lazy friends for people you do not know

For the most part as students we are poor poor poor unless you are a lucky bastard for one reason or another. Anyways there are several ways to travel cheap. The best two ways that I have come down to are both the couch surfing website and hostels. Couch surfing helps you meet, stay, and travel with other people. If you do not quite feel comfortable with staying with random people you can meet them before staying with them and stay in the hostal. There of course are easy ways to find cheep deals on hotels. Type into google cheap hotel and more than likely it will take you to a site where you set your standards of the place you wish to stay and the geographic area but not the actual place you stay at. This is how hotels sell rooms that they cannot fill otherwise. When I did this personally it worked out great and the room was nice.  Other than the couch surfing site there is both meetup.com and craigslist. Craigslist is also a great site for finding someone willing to drive or be driven where you want to go for half the cost because the deal usually is to split the gas. Meetup.com is a networking site to help get people with similar interests together and to do things. Simply make an account and find a group of your personal interest and meet during the groups scheduled or unscheduled events if you can swing it.
