It's great. I even have a couple of guys coming to stay now and again. We have meetings with other couchsurfing hosts in the city and organize activities. It's like a hobby. The website rocks too. You get references from people that you have hosted and that have hosted you and I believe there is a ranking system to say how good a host or guest you are. It makes it like a game. The better your references the more people want to come and stay with you.
