I heard about Couchsurfing through a friend who used it in Europe, she had a wonderful time and told me stories about the wide variety of personalities she had stayed with. I like the idea of seeing a new city through the eyes of someone who lives there rather than as a tourist. My travels where you have a local to advise you have been some of my best memories.
