		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. With all the commemorations, tie-ins and, in some cases, blatant profiteering (fancy some 9/11 memorial wine priced at $19.11? ), I don&#8217;t think many people have failed to pick up on this. As midnight approaches, most of us have reached overload. Nonetheless, the following email sent out by [...]]]></description>

She talks about the downside of local knowledge, ie that hanging out with someone who lives in a place isn&#8217;t always a free pass into an all inter-circle of incredible secrets, you can get your fair share of dud [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Couchsurfing bad for local travel? Well, this is a new conundrum. Sort of. Couchsurfing has, of course, always had it's critics. And so it should. There is no 'perfect' way to travel. Everything has pros and cons. And I've always been keen to tackle those belonging to couchsurfing.
