Check out eatwithalocal.com this site is free to join and you are able to eat with local people in their homes all over the world for free!
The idea is for travellers the world over to get to know the people of the place they are visiting over a home cooked meal.
Students are encouraged to welcome other students with basic meals of beans on toast.
Tourists wouldn't have to eat in restaurants where the only local information you are able to gleen is from the waiter (if they are not run off their feet)
Take a look and change the way you dine abroad forever.
Best wishes, Vicki
