The Couch Surfing Project

Imagine a world…where any place we travel, there is a network of connections available with locals who are cheerfully willing to make their own homes available for us to stay. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this,, but it’s true!

CouchSurfing is a worldwide network for making connections between travelers and the local communities they visit.

Here is the organization’s mission statement:

"CouchSurfing seeks to internationally network people and places, create educational exchanges, raise collective consciousness, spread tolerance, and facilitate cultural understanding."

-As a community we strive to do our individual and collective parts to make the world a better place, and we believe that the surfing of couches is a means to accomplish this goal. CouchSurfing isn't about the furniture- it's not just about finding free accommodations around the world- it's about participating in creating a better world. We strive to make a better world by opening our homes, our hearts, and our lives. We open our minds and welcome the knowledge that cultural exchange makes available. We create deep and meaningful connections that cross oceans, continents and cultures. CouchSurfing wants to change not only the way we travel, but how we relate to the world!
