I have used couchsurfing a lot while travelling around the world with a friend (using his account!). I spent a full year studying culture, fishing techniques... in fishing communities from Africa, East Asia or Latin America. I was always amazed at how well people welcomed us on CS. I now have my own appartment in Paris and I would therefore be happy to host people to give back a bit of what I have been given.

I walked bare feet on a Black Mamba snake in Africa and was not bitten!
