A good friend of mine left recently to go live with and work for The Couch Surfing Project in New Zealand. If you've never heard about it, it's pretty cool. Its a website that connects travellers to local commuinities through free room and board (often a couch). The site is run by volunteers who live in 'collectives' around the world and spend several months donating their time to the cause (ie marketing, technical, customer service, etc). The collectives move locations every 6 months or so to a new fabulous global destination and anyone can join one. The projects 'big picture' mission is to connect people around the world. What it's done realistically is introduced a little more humanity on the internet. I love stuff like this.www.couchsurfing.com
