Please include New Gusto. This website is on the lines of couchsurfing but for hosts or guests who are willing to cook / eat at private places. I think, this could go in with the list too.

Thanks for compiling the list. Here is one more I would like to add to the list http://volunteerstays.com/. This site is for people who love to travel and want a local experience with hosts in different countries. You can do work exchanges in return for food and accommodation. You can also look for travel partners.

I did not know about Tripping Jen, great service.
Finally somebody implementing safety features, as it is my main concern when traveling abroad.

Hi Daniel,

Great list of sites – thanks for pulling all of these together. If you have a moment, could you please add Tripping Int’l (https://www.tripping.com) to the list?

Tripping is a social network for travelers that launched last autumn, just after your article was written.

Thanks!
