I agree, but:
1. I wanted to make sure I am not just throwing an idea in the wind
2. The problem with couchsurfing now is mainly the poor website experience. I know this does not depend on the tech stack, but it's good to keep this in mind
As "features", I think those of couchsurfing are OK to start. Later on I think few things could be added:
1. jobs on the style of WWOOF and Work Away
2. Reviews, itineraries. Like I have an entire kayak itinerary for 2 rivers and I could put it in there or like where you can rent a kayak for a long trip, etc.
3. Guides. Like free tour guides, city walks, etc.
