Dear Fiamma,
My name's Adam Staines and I'm a 21 year old Australian who is cursed/blessed with the travel bug.
For most of the last 3 years I've been on the road, visiting Europe, Africa, North and South America. Whilst on my travels I've discovered that the travel community is an amazingly friendly, generous and accommodating group of people and I've made friends all over the world. Everywhere I've been I've seen demonstrations of kindess and generosity amongst travellers.

It occurred to me one day, why not harness this communal travelling spirit and create a website that pools together the collective resources of travellers from all over the world, and create a community inside the travelling community: a network of people willing to accommodate travellers completely at their own convenience, in any way that they can. Completely free of charge. Whether its just a spare mattress or a spare bedroom or even a granny flat. Most budget travellers aren't too picky. :)
Think about it...on average approximately one third of a budget traveller's costs are spent on accommodation. Imagine if you could dramatically lower, if not completely eliminate, that cost by being able to stay for free in people's homes all over the world. That means more money in your pocket to spend on having a great time on your travels. Not only do you get free accommodation but you also get the inside knowledge, experience and culture that comes with staying with a local that you'd never be exposed to staying in a hotel or hostel.
Of course there are a lot of things to think of, safeguard of privacy and of willingness of the woul-be hosts, and so on, and I was busy to solve all tat problems.
Finally I created the site "http://www.globalfreeloaders.com/", wich I point out to you. Thanks for your hospitality!!
