CURRENT MISSION

Our Mission is to help people with their travels and also get to know what their culture is like!

ABOUT ME

CHUM is a zero-equity housing cooperative serving the community near the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. We have an open membership policy, meaning all members of the community willing to contribute to the cooperative in certain specified ways are welcome. Additionally, CHUM believes cooperating with non-members and improving the vitality of the College Park community is very important. We host weekly community potlucks open to all of College Park.

We are all gendered houses of ages ranging from 20-30's and are excited to host and surf. We are fully aware that the component for couchsurfing is the bond of human interaction, of placing yourself in adventure, and experiencing other cultures and people- and we want to be part of that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We envision a community that gives and takes from eachother. We participate by allowing a place to stay, and have communal dinners for nonmembers to give a small donation if possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Alot of our members have couchsurfed before or have had extensive traveling experience, it'll be hard to find a member that hasn't been to a location you are looking into!

Interests

We have a wide range of interests, but a common theme with the organization is that many CHUM members are vegetarian or vegan, promoters of social justice, and environmentally conscious.
