Bloggers Sleep Free in India

Set up along the same lines as Couchsurfing, there's a new website that will help you out if you're looking for a free place to stay in India. ExtraBed.in is a portal that connects bloggers from India and around the world, with the Indian bloggers offering others a spare bed for a night or more in cities and towns across India.

The idea of connecting bloggers is kinda neat--the theory is that if you can read somebody's blog, you'll get to know a bit about them and you won't feel like it's a complete stranger coming over to stay. The site encourages you to bring a gift for your host, and some blogger hosts also want you to do some light chores--or once in a while, babysit their kids! But that only seems fair when you're saving on hotel costs and meeting some interesting Indians.
