I think it is a nice way to meet new people from everywhere. Of course it is an economic way to travel but it is also a good way to live a little bit the "local" life. You can meet interesting people with a lot of stories. I've had around 5 Couchsurfing experiences and they were all very good. I would definitely do it again and recommend this way of travelling to others.
