Aah reading your post is making me want to visit South America even more than I already do!
I've been traveling solo for years, yet I've never used couchsurfing, and I don't think I would have considered it if I were planning to visit the area. Glad to know you had a good experience and shared many tips related to safety. You can never be too careful! The hostel looked really nice by the way :)
