Review: I wish this book was around in 2004

In 2004, I decided to "get a life" and I moved to Taiwan.  I had about $2000 in cash, no job or prospect for a job, no place to live, no idea what I was even going.  I just packed up everything and went.  I ended up staying in this dung-heap of a youth-hostel called "Happy Family" that had no hot water, giant bugs, and a Taiwanese woman who continually called my room every night talking dirty with a terrible English accent.  If I had read Bill Sadler's fantastic book about couchsurfing, I would surely have looked into that before beginning such an adventure.  This book is another classic in Bill's catalogue.  After reading his book about recycling air conditioners, I knew his information was trustworthy and reliable.  He explains exactly what "couchsurfing" is and how you can travel from place to place on a very limited budget.  The writer also gives some interesting examples of hosts and travelers.  The "nudist" host was kind of funny, but probably not a host I would want to stay with!If couchsurfing sounds like your kind of thing, then I strongly recommend you buy this book today!
