If you’re looking for a cheap holiday CouchSurfing could be your best bet, it’s practiced by over 2 million members of the CouchSurfing network across 230 countries worldwide. You host someone at your house for a day or two and in return you get to stay pretty much anywhere in the world free of charge. What better way to mingle with the wonderful collection of odd and beautiful humans that earth has to offer?

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti decided to take a year out and stay at 100 random stranger’s houses, boats, flats and dives. Gabriele took his camera wherever he travelled and below are some of the resulting images.

It’s a pretty awesome idea, my only problem is that I absolutely hate having people round my house; you have to chat to them and pretend you like them and when you want to go to bed because you’re knackered you have to listen to them bang on about their dog or whatever. But I guess if you aren’t a sulky nihilist this might be quite a blast.

Take a look at these slices of adventure across the next few slides:
