 Staying in hotels and resorts has been a traditional part of travel since the beginning of mass
tourism. But nowadays, many tourists want a more intimate experience. For this reason, they are
choosing to 'go native'. This often means staying in the kinds of places that local people inhabit. In
big cities, you can try staying with the friend of a friend. You may end up sleeping on the couch or
the floor, but the advantages outweigh the discomfort. The biggest plus is that you'll be staying with
a local and seeing the city from a local perspective.
Another option is house-swapping. Several websites allow you to connect with people who
want to trade living situations. It's usual to exchange emails about favorite places in the city before
the swap, meaning you can have a truly local experience. But of course, you can only do this if you
don't mind having strangers staying in your house.
For the more adventurous, staying in a native structure in an African village or a hut on the
water in Vietnam or Thailand can be a real thrill. These might not even include plumbing or
electricity, and that is part of the charm. The experience of dealing with oil lamps and carrying
water really gives you a sense of how the people live..
No matter how unadventurous you feel, you might want to consider crossing hotels off your
list. Getting to know the local way of life is the most valuable part of travel. And what better way is
there to do this than staying where the local people actually live?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
"I have not paid a single electricity bill since the year 1970," says Richard Perez with
noticeable glee. He can afford to be smug. He lives "off-grid" - unconnected to the power grid and
the water, gas and sewerage supplies that most people in the world rely on. He generates his own
electricity, sources his own water and deals with his own waste disposal - and he prefers it that way.
"There are times when the grid blacks out," he says. "I really like the security of having my own
electricity company."
Perez is not alone. Once the preserve of mavericks, hippies and survivalists, there are now
approximately 200,000 off-grid households in the United States of America, a figure that Perez says
has been increasing by a third every year for the past decade. For all of the people who live off-grid,
self-sufficiency means guilt-free energy consumption and peace of mind. "It feels brilliant to make
use of clean, free energy that is not from fossil fuels," says Suzanne Galant, a writer who lives off-
grid in a rural area in Wales. "And if something goes wrong, we can fix it ourselves." Now even
4
urbanites are seeing the appeal of generating some if not all of their own power needs. So is energy
freedom an eco pipe-dream or the ultimate good life?
Well, there is only one way to find out: begin to explore the possibilities of solar, wind or
hydropower. But unless you live on a sunny, south-facing hillside with access to a nearby river or
stream, that might prove prohibitively expensive!
There is no doubt that being off-grid has its problems, and it is not always the cheapest way
to get the energy you need. Even so, pioneers like Perez have proved that it can be done, and
without giving up a 21- century lifestyle: "I have got five personal computers, two laser scanners,
two fridge-freezers, a microwave, a convection oven, vacuum cleaners - you name it," says Perez
"There is an external beam antenna on the roof for the phone and a satellite dish for an Internet
connection. I have got 70 kWh in batteries that could last me five days. I have too much electricity."
Too much electricity and no more bills. That has got to be worth aiming for.
(Adapted from English Unlimited by Adrian Doff and Ben Goldstein)
