> I wish they also had more options for just a place to crash for a night, like in a spare bedroom.

couchsurfing was a great option once upon a time. the customary 'fee' of paying the host for their takeout or dinner and drinks for the night was really worth it.

i guess this informal custom has gone the way of hitch-hiking?

You could learn Esperanto. They have a service where you can couch surf basically anywhere if you can speak with your host in Esperanto. Some countries like Japan have a lot of coverage.
