		<description>Yeah but...

There are scads of grubby outcast backpackers out there who are mooching off others constantly. They are not only taking advantage of that &quot;generosity of strangers&quot;--they are taking that will to lend a hand for granted. Anyone who has hung around Khao San Road and similar backpacker ghettoes long enough has seen the begging and panhandling first hand. Most people who are hosts for Couchsurfing or Hospitality Club have also seen their share of demanding moochers who simply didn&#039;t save enough money before hitting the road. This show only encourages more of that behavior, giving the impression that it&#039;s fine and dandy to set off without proper funding or a will to work.
