Twenty thousand photos, 6 MB each? Were you taking photos to sell, or just for memories? Why so many thousands of photos? Did you really want to keep every single photo? Were you willing to back up only some of the photos? Were you willing to back up reduced-resolution versions of the photos?

@MarkMayo: A Washington state resident recently asked me, through a hospitality-exchange website, to host them. I did a Google search for [ washington state court records ]. After figuring out how to use the free records-retrieval system, I found out that the man was charged with assault, and after he went through a diversion program, the charge was dropped. This shook my confidence both in the man and in hospitality exchange. Former police chief Casady's advice restored my confidence, but was hard to find. So I quoted Mr. Casady here so that others can find his advice more easily.

Excellent. +1. It sounds to me like using CouchSurfing is quite safe for men. It would be much appreciated if you could please edit your answer and mention a) women guests and b) about how many CouchSurfing hosts you've stayed at in total. (A hundred? A thousand?) Also: What were some of your bad travel experiences, both while using CouchSurfing and in general?
