 Travel without having to eat airline food

Issue yourself with couch surfer passport and do all that travel bit without the inconvience of actually having to get on a plane. Print out your own visa stamps (with a laser printer) and iron em onto the passport. Could also work as guest control system, "Helps with the dishes" stamp to encourage good behaviour of those dwelling on your couch for extended visits.... www.mb-a.co.uk/sofasurfer

       I'm sorry, I don't think I understand this.   

       Are you traveling at all? On your own couch? Door to door until you find someone that will let you sleep on their couch?

       Couch surfing is what I do when I've lost a roof over my head, and need to crash at a friend's place for a while. Its called "surfing" because normally you have to alternate between friends because eventually they get fed up with you freeloading off of their goodwill/comfy couch. The passport helps ease surfer/couch lord relations, and announces good intentions when staying with friends so hopefully you can stay a little longer. I see what you mean, [morrison] and I like it. But please try to better explain the ideas.

       My shame...well the passport's for couch-surfing as Let'sbuildafort explains....maybe I shouldn't go into writing technical manuals for nuclear power stations?

       alternatively this could be the start of distributed sovereignty, wouldn't it save a fortune in bureacracy if we just issued ourselves our own passport...I mean I trust me completely.

       Ah. Yes. You can never assume that your audience is familiar with jargon or a slang term. Especially if the audience is someone as terminally un-hip and out of touch as I am.
