Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been part of couch surfing for a few years. I developed beautiful friendships and experiences through couchsurfing. I maintained those relationships outside of the website. My partner and I live in Oakland and are constantly hosting. We want to connect with other travelers who share similar beliefs and passions. I do believe that participating in the program is part of a larger collective movement that has the capacity to change the individualistic mentality into a communal one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People have opened their home to me before. I also have opened my home to travelers.

I stayed in Rio de Janeiro with a local Carioca who was the sweetest person and treated my friend and me with such great respect that it's been a memorable moment ever since.

There's nothing like being exposed to a culture and city by a local, somebody who is truly part of that community.
