Hi Mike! (fellow Canadian here, from TO living in Van) So glad for your guest post so I can follow your travels!
And I can vouch for Couchsurfing. A girlfriend travelled to Brazil solo and had “met” 3 people on the site before she left. She ended up staying with all 3 and didn’t need a hotel her entire trip. I’m not sure I would be so adventurous, but she had an amazing time and met some great friends from it!

Thanks for the shout out K.L. And thanks for the words from you too, Jen!

And FlightMemory: I’ve thought about couchsurfing… Is it safe? I’ve just not heard much about it.

I could not find the article or something corresponding on Mike’s blog quickly, so:
Mike – if you really want the local contact – CouchSurfing is the site for you to find locals offering their couch and maybe time to you.
Have a great trip.
