BeWelcome is an open source project by a non-profit organization. It works similar to CouchSurfing.
How different is it? Well, it’s open source, and it’s non-profit. So anyone can be part of the web site’s development, and there’s no one making money out of your hospitality. Also, its terms of service are friendlier and don’t claim ownership on your information.
Where will I sleep while on this journey? Camping, most of the time. But I will also try my chance at Couch Surfing.

Couch Surfing is not new to me: I have surfed and hosted many times in the past, but I’ve always had some time to organize myself. This time I’ll be always on the move, so I might be 20km short of reaching the destination on schedule, or arrive a day too early.
Let’s see how this goes. If you find yourself on my route and would like to host me, please let me know =)
