Thanks for the advice LifeMagician and DonnaR57! And yes, you are both right about Couch Surfing not being completely free which is why I said I need extra money for nights out and what not. People who don't understand couch surfing think its like Air B&B and you have to pay $100 a night, so thats what I meant by free. When I Couch Surfed in Portland, I bought my hosts breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks...I am a good Surfer, I promise ;)
