Couchers.org is a non-profit and free platform, built by volunteers and responsible to the couch surfing community, instead of investors. Formed after Couchsurfing™ put up its paywall in 2020, our goal is to reclaim couch surfing by creating a complete alternative, with all your favourite features.

Couchers.org is the fastest growing couch surfing platform. We have built the largest active volunteer base with over 40 skilled contributors. Our product teams are designing and developing the platform at blazing speed, releasing new features every two weeks; our community teams are planning out and executing user base growth and engagement strategies to reach a critical mass of quality couch surfers with active local communities and a vibrant global discussion.
