There is a new travel hosting program that was started by a Central European Teacher of English as a Foreign Language. The membership is free through 2004, since they are trying to build their database. This is not a home exchange, but rather a home hosting program. There is a suggested honorarium per person for providing breakfast, the cost of washing sheets, etc. Most of Europe is 6 Euro a night, per person. You cannot beat those rates.

We will be hosting a couple of backpackers here in Budapest, this Sunday. http://www.welcometraveller.org
