1. People. This is my number one reason for joining Couchsurfing. One of the most exciting things about traveling is meeting that random person, and then hanging out with them. What better way to ensure I meet some awesome locals than to go Couchsurfing? 2. I want to see the world in a new way. No more 'must-do' lists, no more touristy sites and hotels. I threw that stuff out the window long ago. I want something a little different - if you want to show me your favourite burger shack down the street, or that place you like to people-watch while picking daisies - I am up for it!
