O.K. FUCK that site. Don't even waste your time logging on. I had over 40 pop ups in less than 5 seconds. Froze my computer up just like that, and I had to reboot. maybe it was just me but I wouldn't waste my time.

of the sites like that, i've found couchsurfing.com to be the best. I've never personally used it, but plan to and know some people who have and they loved it. and the site is set up really well.

I signed up for freeloaders but for some reason the site always boots me off or doesnt let me use the controls. I've used couchsurfing.com both as a host and as a surfer and all my experiences have been great! I have a friend in OZ now that says I'm welcome there anytime (and she mails me presents) as well as friends in Alaska and another nomadic friend that stayed with me for a night.
