I have made some great people through couchsurfing in the USA. They are now genuine friends. I have returned to visit many of them when I returned to their area. Now, in Colombia, there is the added bonus of trying to get better at Spanish, as well as learning more about a country and a culture that is even less familiar to me (and therefore more interesting as well!)
