I am staying with some new friends in Cape Cod through CouchSurfing.com. What a different experience it is to stay with locals, versus staying in a sterile Motel 6. Granted, I give up a bit of my autonomy, privacy, selfishness, but end up gaining a sense of family, connectedness, inclusion, and making new friends.
Through CouchSurfing I had had the most interesting experiences. Staying with my new friends has allowed me to be included in a ~free~ whale watching expedition and even share dinner with a locally-based Grammy winning photographer. I cannot recommend CouchSurfing highly enough!
