VibeAgent.com offers Budget Travelers Safe Alternative to "Couch Surfing"
Travelers need not sacrifice safety for savings
JULY 15, 2008. Budget conscious travelers seeking ways to save money have helped create "couch surfing", where travelers use internet sites to find local individuals willing to host them when traveling. While the savings are great (it's free!), those who take part could be making the biggest sacrifice - their safety.
Couch surfing does not provide safety checks or a trusted verification system to determine if accommodations are secure, clean, or in a safe location. Travelers are agreeing to stay in the residence of a stranger, putting themselves in highly vulnerable positions.
