Traveling solo can not only be expensive, but a little lonely as well. I'd rather see it through the eyes of a local then any guide book. I am a self proclaimed Amateur Social Anthropologist and semi-professional smart ass. I usually sleep in hostels and I love those experiences but staying with a local affords me the opportunity to experience and learn culture from their prospective is why I want to try couch surfing. Plus I get to meet amazing people to eat all the food with me.

I like all three of those things. ;)
