Tripping for Travellers – Couch Surfing, Home Stays & Meet Locals

Tripping is an online community, made by travellers for travellers. If you’re dusting your backpack down in preparation for that trip of a lifetime (on a budget), then really, Tripping is almost an essential site to visit.

Now, to test the site, I decided that I wanted to take a trip to Tel Aviv in Israel and go partying. I looked up the city and was presented with around 100 friendly faces, all of whom were locals prepared to meet for a coffee, take me around their City that they love so much, or even host me on their couch or spare bed! It’s clever and it does work. Click the pic below to try it out.

Meet and stay with real locals on your next budget trip, with Trippy

  • Hey Danny Davies,
    Thanks for the info, Annual trip travel insurance is easily purchased from any health insurance provider... just make certain you look through the fine print. For example, one of my friends bought a policy for his annual trip to Cozumel, Mexico, and ended up having compression problems while diving there. What he didn't realize was that scuba diving was considered a dangerous activity, and was excluded from coverage. This poor guys had to shell out over twenty thousand dollars, out of pocket. How's that for a travel story?
