A "Couch Crash" is a global invitation to visit a city to get to know the locals, city, and culture. "Couch Crashes" are filled with local events that the Chicago Couchsurfing community organizes. Our aim is to showcase parts of the city and MORE that tourists normally overlook. It's also a great time for new Couchsurfers to socialize, gain references and experience hosting & surfing.
