The next time you travel to another city, it might be cheaper, or at least more interesting, to rent directly from a local homeowner. Cool Tools says Vacation Rentals By Owner (VRBO.com) is a great way to find rental opportunities when you travel.

You probably won't get housekeeping services, but you'll probably get larger rooms, a kitchen, and the opportunity to prowl through someone else's stuff relax in a non-hotel environment.

If you'd rather combine a long-term vacation with some sort of employment, try the Caretaker Gazette instead.
