Some good ideas that aren’t for me but might be for you.
1) Couch Surfing is all the rage with The Young People but anyone can play. There’s a great website to make it all happen. It’s a very lively community of folks who offer to let other folks crash at their place for a few days.
2) Home Exchange. This is a time honored way for people to experience another place as if you lived there. It’s so easy now with the internet to figure out if you’d want to give it a try.
3) RV Rental can be very cool I hear but it’s generally no bargain and it feels to me like there’s a lot of work involved. Still there’s that vagabond vibe that might appeal to you.
