I recently started my sabbatical, so I am on leave for one year and that's great!
I have plenty of time for travelling around, discovering places I've never been before, getting to know new people, ideas, gaining new experiences and inspirations. That's what I am looking for and I enjoy it.
Looking back on a 32-year-old relationschip with me ;-), I claim that I am an open-minded, sociable and friendly person, but please convince yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems to me a really good possibility to get in touch with locals, getting tips and hints for discovering spots at first hands and sharing experiences (of the day trip or of life).
