The Castro District of San Francisco recently became more famous than it already was because of Gus Van Santa��s film, Milk, starring Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, the first openly gay supervisor of San Francisco. Since the 1960s, the Castro has become widely known as the gay neighborhood of San Francisco. But that hasn′t stopped people who aren′t gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender from enjoying what this district has to offer.
Some of the places you should visit include:

Couch Surfing
by Bea June 2nd, 2009 | Camping, Ecotravel, Lodging
Couch Surfing, ever heard of it? I had not until just recently. Couch Surfing is a free, Internet-based, international housing service.

Not only are you able to have a place to stay for free for a night, or even longer, but you will meet many new and interesting people.
