I believe it's a great opportunity for young people to travel and experience new cultures. It's always much more exciting to talk with the people who've been living in other cities for long time, rather then just hang around as a tourist. I'm really a very curious person and I'm interested in how other people manage their lives, what they enjoy or find inspiring, what they eat for breakfast or where they wish to travel. This information sometimes gives this "aha" moment – I never thought one could do/think/feel that, I guess I should give it a try! Couchsurfing is definitely a super enriching experience.
