We envision a world made better by travel and travel made richer by connection.
Couchsurfers share their lives with the people they encounter, fostering
cultural exchange and mutual respect.



 * TRAVEL THE WORLD
   
   With Couchsurfing, you can stay with locals in every country on earth. Travel
   like a local, stay in someone's home and experience the world in a way money
   can't buy.

 * REDISCOVER YOUR CITY
   
   There's a community of Couchsurfers near you. Many cities have weekly
   language exchanges, dance classes, hikes and dinners. Make new friends.

 * BECOME A HOST
   
   Give back and open your home to travelers. Learn about a new culture
   first-hand or practice a language. Make the world a little smaller; a little
   friendlier.

Read About Our Values

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Couchsurfing is a global community of 14 million people in more than 200,000
cities who share their life, their world, their journey. Couchsurfing connects
travelers with a global network of people willing to share in profound and
meaningful ways, making travel a truly social experience.


OUR STORY

Couchsurfing began in 2004 as a small passion project by founders Casey Fenton,
Daniel Hoffer, Sebastian Le Tuan and Leonardo Bassani da Silveira. An email to a
group of students in Iceland gave birth to the idea that people anywhere would
want to share their homes with strangers (or, as we like to call them, friends
you haven't met yet).




 * SURFING THE SAHARA
   
   Moustafa Cheaiteli crossed the Sahara desert using only local transportation
   and Couchsurfing.
