I had a wonderful time with my second and third couchsurfing hosts. I got a lightning tour of Utrecht from one, and some great experiences in Amsterdam from the other. My Amsterdam host is an Iranian-born Jewish family man with a passion for filmmaking, traveling, and intense life experiences. He's currently doing a documentary on Couchsurfing. As part of that, he took me to a party at a shared open house on the western end of town, and I got to meet the eclectic blend of inhabitants it attracted. This is the real way to experience a city... tag along with an interesting local for a couple of days.

Since maor cities have over 1000 active couchsurfing hosts, I can pick people who will be good matches for me. So far I've met up with a futurist/entreprener, a new media artist, and an experienced traveller. I may soom neet a woman in Germany who's an art professor. I like this service.
