Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hosting now. Wanted to see what the experience was like. I'm going to be travelling all over central and South America next year. I figure this is a good way to see how other people live and get a perspective different from that of a regular tourist. I love hearing about other peoples experiences.
