Couch surfing is a unique and free way to connect with people from around the world through meaningful and genuine interactions. Couch surfing is a non-transactional homestay that prioritizes cultural exchange and learning, instead of accommodations or amenities.
When you participate in couch surfing, you could be:
-
Hosting someone for free in your home.
-
Staying with locals for free while traveling.
-
Meeting up with locals or travelers to share experiences and gain insights into their community.
Before any meeting, hosts and guests communicate about their plans and availability to set clear expectations.
Couch surfing is NOT intended for dating, romance, flirting, sex, or sexual activities. Its purpose is to make new friends from all around the world, share experiences, and learn from one another, regardless of whether you're traveling or hosting. Our global community is built on genuine, inclusive cultural exchange and places a high value on trust and safety.
