To Connect Campaigners With Housing, Tripping Launches Sites For Obama And Romney Volunteers

Every four years, millions of volunteers travel around the country in support of their candidate of choice, often settling in battleground states. That means a whole lot of people need short-term housing arrangements, and frequently those volunteers need to find places to stay in locations where housing don't come easy. To help them with the inevitable search for a couch to crash on, travel startup Tripping is introducing new sites for volunteers in both political camps. With sites for both Obama and Romney volunteers, the startup is launching Political Tripping, which will let volunteers choose from more than 750,000 couches, apartments, and home rentals. But more than just housing, the initiative is also aimed at making connections between volunteers and the local people in battleground states that they're operating in.
