Couchsurfing San Diego Ambassadors – The San Diego Reader

Besides the regular hotels, resorts, hostels, and mass transit systems, there are a few other resources tech nomads use when they travel. While the following networks do help us save money by providing free places to stay or transportation, the goal is much deeper. These networks allow us to experience unconventional adventure, engage in cultural immersion, connect with the locals, and give back to the places we travel through work exchanges and volunteering. When given a chance and used properly, these are all powerful tools for experiencing new worlds.
