Instead to ‘settle in’ hotels, she choose to live with a stranger who was hunted from internet for an exchange, that she will accommodate this friend next time when he travel to her hometown.. This new fashion of exchange becomes the favorite of university students. Why they choose this way? For saving money? Or making friends? Is it a safe way? Have you tried to exchange accommodations with strangers when traveling? Do you think it is good?
