I love the idea of couchsurfing, presumably like most of us here. I don't like the typical touristic experience I had while growing up and travelling with my parents, spending a week or two in a touristic bubble is nothing satsifying to me. I want to meet people, experience culture, get to know the daily life of the people and their traditions, habits and opinions. I like the idea of the exchange, of hosting and being hosted, receiving and giving, beyond the traditonal two people concept.
