goal setting community.
It works on ‘tagging’ rather than explicit interpersonal connections
Users setup logins and make a list of goals or hopes that they wish to do.

other users.

cheering each other up and encouraging them towards achieving their
goals

people of their own locality alone
Deadlines can be set for each of your goals thereby urging you to work

and tag you encouraging you to achieve your goal
You can add things you have bought on your ‘consumption page’ and you
shall receive tips about other similar related items.

Editor's Notes
Hospitality service, Hospitality exchange, international understanding, networkingFree to register. Members are encouraged to provide information and photos of themselves and of the accommodation they offer, if anySecurity detailsThere are three methods Couchsurfing that increase security and trust, which are all visible on member profiles for potential hosts and surfers:Personal references, which hosts and surfers have the option to leave after having used the service. It is also possible to leave neutral or negative references if it is deemed appropriate. Negative references are sometimes removed by the site. [3]An optional credit card verification system, allowing members to "lock in" their name and mailing address by making a credit card payment under any name and entering a code that Couchsurfing mails to an address of their choice. The verification program is the principal source of revenue for Couchsurfing. In an effort to increase economic fairness, the verification fee is based on a sliding scale, taking into account the Purchasing Power Parityand Human Development Index of the country of registration.A personal vouching system, whereby a member that had been vouched for three times — originally starting with the founders of the site — might in turn vouch for any number of other members he knew or had met through Couchsurfing, and trusts.
