I'm planning a trip to Maui in July or August to visit a friend but I'd rather spend my money on experiences than hotels. I love the idea of exchanging hospitality for the sake of making new connections and not for financial gain.

I hiked down and halfway back up the Grand Canyon, camped there, and woke up on Thanksgiving morning to complete the hike to the rim. A month later, I hiked one of the nontraditional paths of the Inca Trail that was not regulated by the Peruvian government, only kept up by the locals who lived nearby.
