Some of the best experiances I have had overseas was when we were hosted by locals. French and Swiss were especially nice to us while travelling and the Germans were always keen on a beer. It was fun, being able to sleep in rather than checking out early. It is so much easier when hungover :-). I have hosted too. Just that the other host uses his profile and he is currently overseas. Hosted a Cool French Girl and a travel maniac from Canada and just recently a great young guy from France who is out to rid the world of plastic bags! .Still keep contact with them via facebook :-) and keen to visit them all in the future .

Anything goes from older to newer just whatever, pretty open minded.
