Forget Hotels: Stay at A Friend or Acquaintance's House

Okay, so this is definitely one of those things that's easier said than done, but if you do have the opportunity to do something like this, you should seize it. It may be worth trying to meet a friend online through forums or social media groups. Even if you only have one contact, that contact may just be able to lead you to other friendly people who'll be willing to let you crash at theirs.

Just be careful not to find yourself sleeping at some random, untrustworthy person's house. It's always better to spend a bit on a hotel than to put yourself in danger.
