		<description><![CDATA[So here I am at summer school in Montreal. I&#8217;m into my third week of French refresher classes at UQAM (L&#8217;Université du Québec à Montréal). Keeping up the location independent way of life, I have signed up for the intensive morning course, which leaves me with the afternoons/evenings to earn a living and pay the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Boyle, the freeconomy guy who I&#8217;ve written about before, has popped up in the Guardian today talking about how to travel for free. There are no real revelations in his recommendations &#8211; Couchsurfing, LiftShare and WWOOFing all get namechecked -  but I&#8217;m happy to hear that he is going to be writing more regularly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve said this before, but I really can&#8217;t emphasis this point enough: Couchsurfing.com is fantastic for language learners. And not just for hosts/guests. It can be a godsend in your home town too and it needn&#8217;t involve a single couch. I have raved about Couchsurfing&#8217;s Buenos Aires forum before (see: Top three ways [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re never truly down with the local lingo, unless you pick up the slang. This is probably never truer than in Argentina, where they speak Spanish like no other. I&#8217;m considering buying this Argentine phrase book, Che Boludo, just so I can try to fit in. The title, &#34;Che boludo&#34;, is the most Argentine of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a glitch in the Couchsurfing.com website at the moment. (Well, it&#8217;s one of many, if you listen to the discontented bunch on the site&#8217;s &#8220;brainstorming&#8221; forum, who seem perennially on the verge of a mutiny.) Before I go on, let me explain a little thing about Couchsurfing profiles for the uninitiated. Besides displaying general [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just spent a week in Santiago, living with a friend of mine, hanging out with her mates and generally getting a feel for Chilean life. People would pay a lot of money for that sort of language immersion. But for me, it was free. Xili was a contact from Couchsurfing.com. Xili (pictured far right) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FriendsAbroad.com is no more. The website that enabled users to practise languages with native speakers has become a part of Babbel.com. The FriendsAbroad site will be closing soon, but all profiles are being automatically migrated over to Babbel (pictured). I first wrote about FriendsAbroad for The Linguist magazine back in 2006. The site was established [...]]]></description>
