I think couch surfing is an awesome opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. Besides becoming buddies with them you can learn from them and in exchange you teach/show them stuff. Unfortunately I can't host travelers but once I have a place for my own I will definitely try to share it and offer travelers to stay with me. It's a great chance to get good information from somebody who knows the place/city/ state not only as a tourist. I love making friends and I am an adventurer. In general I just think its much more fun to do couch surfing while traveling than to stay at a boring hotel...
