Looks like a great tool for finding hiking partners if you're able to build a large enough network. I'd probably not use it because I'd feel too many things could go wrong with strangers who are not committed to me like a tour guide. I've also never gone through the stage of hiking abroad with strangers in your early 20s so, I'm thinking I'm probably far from your target audience. When my partner and I are traveling abroad, we love signing up to AirBnB experiences as it lets us to socialize with either great guides or other tourists, and not just be on our own all the time. The fact that we pay for it and each guide has reviews, gives us a peace of mind that the trip is almost guaranteed to be a success. @elbajo posted an interesting comment about harassers looking for hookups in couch surfing platforms. I guess this is something that could happen more often if there's no payment involved for participants (unlike AirBnB experiences which is paid). I'm curious to know if you have any ideas on how to prevent that if the system remains free?
