One is prefering doing short and comfortable holidays, others like longer tours on a cheaper way. But a place to stay over the night is always necessary. It doesn`t matter wether it`s a hotel, a tent or under the stars.
The one of you prefering low-budget travelling cant`t be wrong in joining the Hospitality Club. It`s a completely free organisation. People in their own town help other club members by offering them free accomodation or giving helpful advices what to do and see in town, while you get help from other members when you are on walkabout.
