| Anyone have any experience with this site? I'm staying on the West Coast for a good month and a half and hostels are stupidly expensive out there (not to mention seem to only accept international travelers), so I thought I could do this to save some money. I have heard of lots of people doing it and they always seem to have good experience/stories. |

But seriously, I'm not asking to stay with anyone from TA, just wondering if anyone had any experience with the site. |

I have been staying with some locals on my trip to London last year, and I've got lots of friends who are in love with travelling and this is the way they choose to do it. It's in awesome. You always meet some interesting people and even if you probably won't meet them again they most often become kind of your best friends for a couple of days. So I say, go for it.
Of course before that you should check if the people are trustworthy and won't rape you in the dollface |

Sounds like the Cali version of living in a van down by the river. |

you do need to be concerned about this but I don't know how much you can really check on people. i know someone who used that site and it worked out for them. |

Yeah, I planned on getting a hotel for the first few days I am there until I can find someone not shady from the site, or going with the cheaper option of staying in a hostel until I can work out couch surfing arrangements. |

| There's a system where users can comment on other users, so you might be able to ask someone who had already stayed at the person you're planning on staying. |

| tell them you have aids and they won't rape you. if they also have aids then all bets are off. get a can of mace and chastity belt for when your sleeping. |
