The art of traveling for free

Budget Travel magazine ran an article recently called The Ultimate Guide to Free Travel. While standby flights and couch surfing are well-known, this piece had some more interesting ideas.

The key thing is to be responsible, though. You’ll still pay for traveling, but just not with money. A lot of these free travel options operate on trust. Definitely show gratitude and respect to your hosts for their generosity. By being a good guest, you’ll be making it easier for other travelers to score free trips as well.

    Umm…sounds like an interesting article. Unfortunately, your link connects to an MSNBC article entitled “Must-pack items from real travelers,” which is less interesting.

    There’s worse copy and paste link mixups out there…
