I met a Polish girl on a recent hike up "Old Rag in Virginia. It's a nice climb with a lot of ricks and challenging transitions between huge boulders, highly recommend... but be careful!

The girls were college age and shared some food. She is working in USA for a year, as exchange student and babysits for a family for room and board! What great idea! No, didn't get any numbers, I know what you GAG people are thinking, but wish I had gotten email so I could find more ways to get to Poland, a place I want to visit.

Have you ever worked in a diff country than where you lived? Did it work out well? I know there are scams out there, but this girl was top notch smart and was doing well.

So climbing Mount Everest is on my life's bucket list, but I got to wondering. If your partner had the money and wanted to climb Mount Everest would you let your partner do it? Would you be willing to go with your partner?

by the way Mont Everest takes about 2 months to climb and the mortality rate among young climbers is only 2.2%

Would you let a fellow gagger you've talked with online, gotten comfy with, have some references and a background check... crash at your place for vacation? yea, I'm serious, no I'm not asking for me.

What if they paid you, or helped you out in some way? Seriously, though if think about it, what better way to get exposure to other places and people on the cheap? You have more sense of people out here than you do via other sites.

I've had people crash at my place before I didn't know, worked out fine... was actually 3 girls whoot whoot!! No... nothing happened, I was a young dork, they were tired out bicycle racers who had no place to stay. One of them was really hot!

Have you ever swapped locations/houses with someone for vacation? There are websites out there to help you find like minded person.

Is this something you've done or would do for vacation? Benefit being, there is much reduced cost with exposure to new places and people. sounds good on the surface as long as they take care of your place.

Pick a city or add your own !
