CouchSurfing is not about the furniture, not just about finding free accommodations around the
world; it's about making connections worldwide. We make the world a better place 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!

 View my profile | "I can not come close to expressing my enthusiasm toward this community!! This site has allowed me to meet sooo many interesting, and 'like-me' people -adventurous, intrigued w/ world views, wandering, explorative and the list goes on ... my visitors enhance my life here in Tanzania, especially to go beyond my school 'bubble' that at times surrounds me. Many of my CSers have become life-long friends and I look forward to becoming a 'surfer' myself in 2011 when I take my first RTW trip (I hope to extend it to a 2 yr venture!)" |

 View my profile | "My friend introduced me to CS (she's surfed many couches around the world). I must admit that I was skeptical at first since I've lived in pretty rough neighborhoods and I'm always looking out for my safety, but I can honestly say that CS has changed my life. Not only through surfing and hosting (which has fostered great friendships), but connecting with amazing people from all over the world that I've yet to meet. It just proves that there are still good people in the world. Thank you, CS!" |
