I'm on Couchsurfing because I'm trying to travel more and this seems like a great avenue. I also find myself traveling alone sometimesand I think connecting with people and learning from them would be better, in some cases, then just camping alone. I'm interested in meeting new people and those people showing and sharing with me what they connect with in a certain place. Being able to visit somewhere is one thing and being able to connect with it through an intimate avenue is an entirely different experience. I'm really just hoping to meet new people and have new experiences... having a couch (or floor) to sleep on is a plus :).
