I think couchsurfing provides you very good oportunity for cultural exchange. When you go to a different country, you can stay at hotel and you can travel the city but it only makes you know the country. However, when you choose couchsurfing, not only the country or the city, but also lifestyle and the characteristic of people in that country, culture can be known easily. Moreover, you can get a friend, family and a home !!! :)) I believe that whole world is a huge family and using couchsurfing makes this attachement between people in this family stronger. :)))) i join cs meeting whenever i am free from work. i try to host people whenever i have space at my apartment. I show them around the city :)

Clubbing, travelling, sports, long drives, bike rides..
