1. Couchsurfing:
This website is uniquely designed. We can notice its logo on the left-hand side top. We can log in with Facebook and email details. Once the sign-up is complete. We can log in. The interesting part is we can use it via Mobile also They have a mobile application. Where we can explore it. We can find and meet the verified people. We also find events as per your location. If there is any city or famous place which is hosting an Event. We can be a paid member also, it has some memberships planned accordingly to weeks, months, and annually. It is one of the most usable and genuine sites that I have found.

2. Workaway:
This site is lightweight. I would say. When we visited, we found its light colors and there is a logo at the left-hand side TOP. We can join this website as a workawayer (I think it is for people who are finding volunteer work — where we can explore that particular place while providing some services to the host in return), as a host and we can also gift its membership to anyone while we are paying on their behalf. It has also some membership plans. Which we can buy and contact the hosts directly. We can also filter out them by ratings, reply rates, etc.

3. WorldPackers:
This is one of the best websites for volunteering work. We can quickly book accommodations as per our work comfort. Firstly, what we have to do is we have to purchase its plan, we have to fill in its details, we can apply for many opportunities as what we want, once they feel good with you. If they approve you are good to go. In return, we can learn and share Reception, Gardening, Social Media, Housekeeping, Kitchen Hand, etc. There are many different places which we can join some are mentioned here Hostel, Pousada, Camping, NGO, etc. They have their mobile application which is available on Playstore and iPhone application store also.

4. Trustroots.org:
We can join trust roots also. There are different circles on this website that we can join. Technically, they are groups where we can meet others who have similar interests. Some are Hitchhikers, hikers, and Nomads. Its website is simple and has some green pictures. Some are branches and some are trees.

5. Bewelcome:
This is a new site which I checked. I find it similar to other sites like couch surfing and Workaway. But its symbol is unique it has a globe kind of logo. Which represents our “World”. We have to sign up with our details like email ID, first name, last name, etc. When you visit the website homepage. It displays people sitting on a mountain hill or in a pub/bar. Which seems interesting. The number of people is less as compared to the other sites. But you might find a unique host. And including an extra note here, it has some scammers also so please do not pay money in exchange for stays. Otherwise, we do not know where we can find a great host who can meet our vibes at the same peak.

Conclusion:
There are many traveling websites also which I might have not covered in this article, but choosing a good website is helpful when we are traveling somewhere to gather the correct information. And meet the correct people. Some people start asking for sexual favors in exchange for the stays. So please be aware of them. We should search and clear all information before arriving at the place. If we do not feel good with the host or arriver then we should say “No” to them. There is one more thing also which I noticed recently some people visit a place and get attached to the native people to be viral with them and then they start spreading that news to gain fame. So please be aware of the traveler also. Instead of being naive, we should check before saying “Yes” to anyone. Help is great but we do not know what the other people’s motives are. Otherwise, everything is good. Do whatever you want to do with the “Consent”.

Thanks,
