Ambassador Ethics Code
The CouchSurfing Mission
CouchSurfing has a stated mission
to do more than simply connecting surfers and hosts. We're all here to
have fun, but we're also here to help make the world a better place.
As representatives of CouchSurfing, Ambassadors have the duty to
understand and promote this mission in the world, as well as to provide
an example for other members.
This page explains the values
Ambassadors share that embody "the CouchSurfing spirit". It also
contains the Ambassador Code of Ethics that is based upon those values.
Ambassador Shared Values
