Immerse yourself in local culture and community. Learn, teach, volunteer, help stay and share skills. Get off the tourist trail. Contact tens of thousands of local hosts worldwide.
I highly recommend checking out wwoof.net, helpx.net and workaway.info. They are websites where you can get volunteer gigs while traveling that will exchange free food and lodging for 3-4 hours of work per day. Usually the people that take part in these programs are pretty awesome. I always made friends and it's one of my favorite things to do while traveling. Some of the best experiences I've ever had where at volunteer gigs. One of them I stayed at for 6 months because I was having such a good time there.

CouchSurfing is your ticket to explore the world -- from the road or from your own home.
There's also couchsurfing.com where people will let you crash on their couch for a little while. Usually a week or so. It's pretty cool because you get to just chill and then usually the host wants to take you out to do some cool things. I would use couch surfing whenever I went to big cities and was always able to find a place to stay if I spent 3 or 4 hours messaging people on the website.
