One Couch at a Time

We are doing a good job:

in the last hour, there were 152 real-life introductions (124 positive, 0 negative)*
and 60 new couches (72.3% of 83 signups)
the last day: 2,836 real-life introductions (2,256 positive, 2 negative)
1,120 new couches (71.3% of 1,570 signups)

6,720 new couches (70.8% of 9,493 signups)

	* In addition to positive and negative experiences, we have situations where someone met someone
	in real life but put "neutral" down for their quality of experience or did not leave a reference at all.

The Big Picture

CouchSurfing is not about the furniture, not just about finding free accommodations around the world; it's about making connections worldwide. We make the world a better place by opening our homes, our hearts, and our lives. We open our minds and welcome the knowledge that cultural exchange makes available. We create deep and meaningful connections that cross oceans, continents and cultures. CouchSurfing wants to change not only the way we travel, but how we relate to the world!

  • 607,091 available couches
  • 57,615 close friendships due to CouchSurfing
  • 2078256 positive experiences, which is an incredibly high 99.785 percent of all member experiences!

"I have met and stayed with some incredible people through CouchSurfing.com These are warm, friendly local people who a regular tourist would never meet, and their travel experience would be far richer if they had. Besides the obvious benefit of not having to pay for accommodation, CouchSurfing allows travellers to experience a country and its culture from within, instead of just as an observer. Inevitably, a CouchSurfing host will introduce you to his or her friends, and take you to the places that they enjoy. Basically, you can become part of their life for the time you're visiting. I promise your life will be richer through your membership to CouchSurfing."

"I definitely invite you to become a couchsurfing member: you will have the change share experiences, to learn the real culture of a place, you will meet people like you, and also different, but even more interesting. I did not expect this success, this warm welcome, this joy that fill my house when someone decide that i will be his/her host. Don't be shy, pack you things and be ready to explore the NEW!"
