Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a global social platform that connects travelers with hosts willing to offer free accommodation, often in their homes. It allows individuals to experience new cultures through authentic local interactions while saving money on lodging. Users create profiles detailing their interests and experiences, and they can request stays with hosts who have similar interests. In return, hosts gain cultural exchange and the opportunity to meet people from around the world. The platform emphasizes community, trust, and respect, promoting safe and enriching experiences for both guests and hosts.
