Did you know that, in addition to home exchange among employees, our platform also offers the possibility of organizing couch surfs?

If you are not familiar with the concept, couchsurfing is the possibility of getting free accommodation in someone's place for a few days. Open-minded people willing to make new friends can register their home to offer an available room, o sometimes a sofa, to freely host a backpacker for a couple of days. Some hosts are often former couch surf travellers themselves, which look for these alternatives during their trips to travel at a much lower cost while making new friends and getting to visit the city with a local.

Aside from the benefit of finding free accommodation, couchsurfing can boost your trip's experience in other ways:

- You can get to know the city better than a usual tourist. A good host will provide a deeper understanding of the city you are visiting.

- Your host knows the local hotspots and can offer money-saving tips for insider sights and activities. You can find the best eats in town away from the tourists traps, for examples.

- You may have access to a kitchen and save more money, as cooking meals at home are much cheaper than eating out everyday.

- Couchsurfing is not just for solo travelers. Couples and families with children can also find hosts who share the same interests.

Meeting locals (most of the time) in the places you’re traveling to, and gaining a more genuine perspective on the local culture

Making friends and connections worldwide.

A good way to find the hidden local spots around town and good recommendations for what to do with your time in any given place.

Free accommodation.

Having a temporary home away from home.

It’s an easy and quick way to meet people and get ideas for what to do in the city you’re in.

# data[].attributes.body
Don’t expect the accommodation to be the most comfortable. It will be your temporary sleeping space.

The host’s residence isn’t always the most convenient.

If anything, most cities have hosts with an emergency couch available if you’re in need.
