Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Planning a road trip around the U.S.
I think this site offers great advantages for people who want to travel around and get together with people that has the same interest, meeting locals that know where to go and what to do while on their turf which makes things more efficient in terms of cost and time trying to figure out places to go, let alone having somebody to go out for coffee or beer!! Cheers for that!
