WANDEROUS: Couchsurfing in London & Day 1 in England

Welcome back to WANDEROUS, my new podcast about upgrading your consciousness — disguised as a show about world travel.At the very least, you can live vicariously through my weird experiences.This week’s episode is an intro to the weird and wonderful world of Couchsurfing!Couchsurfing.com is how I stayed for free my entire time in London, Swindon, and even Scotland. I also share a story about a strange request from my couchsurfing host. First time for everything, I guess.Good thing I had a good CS host in London, because getting a SIM card that would work in Europe was not as straightforward as you’d think!Show notes:Couchsurfing.com - Travel Hospitality Exchange (perhaps the only real social network)An ancient blog post about my visit to Texas to see The Polyphonic Spree (the first trip I ever used Couchsurfing.com) Warning: it’s very boring, and my writing style has changed a lot since then: https://myth.li/2008/06/the-7th-annual-holiday-extravaganza/The Tube Map app I used while in LondonThe SIM card I used in Europe.
