As an active host on Couchsurfing, I want to thank you and your former teammates for one of the best initiatives ever.

I've been hosting people from all over the world for some time now, and I really like the community! It's bringing me so much joy to host a world traveler from Poland one day, and a transgender Iranian guy on a bicycle trip the next day.




You’re the one doing all the important work! I joined at kind of a bad time for the company, and I’ve been an active user for longer than I was an employee.


Is Couchsurfing still alive?

When they blocked access for free users, my impression (after paying) was that very little of the community remained.


Alive and kicking! Well, at least for me and the five people that I hosted in the last two months.

I happily pay 1.99 euros a month, if only for supporting the idea.
