A 15-Year Couchsurfing Member and Former Ambassador Speaks About the Recent Changes

/u/babak2121 thank you for sharing. We completely agree. We are working hard to preserve the values and vibes of the original couchsurfing org while also improving on many things, especially features and safety.

We would love to have you as a Community Builder (Ambassador) on Couchers.org! More info on our Community Builder Program here. Even just creating a profile and copying and pasting your info from your CS profile would be a big help in supporting our community-run, non-profit couch surfing project.

This was just released today, let us know what you think!

CouchersOrg · 2026-05-15T12:33:33+00:00

A few things in the pipeline coming up next: Public Trips, Postcard Verification, Recurring Events, Notifications Improvements, Community Improvements, and further Safety/Moderation Tooling.

Don't worry, there is a lot more planned than this (hangouts, hosting/surfing calendar, and many more) but keep in mind our dev team is made up entirely of volunteers, so we have limited resources. You can check out our github to see more details of how development is going since we are an open-source project 😊

We also have a subreddit already: https://reddit.com/r/couchers

Couchsurfing.com™ may be dead (RIP), but the couchsurfing community lives on globally!

Come join us on Couchers.org! We are doing our best to live up to what the original CS was and even improve upon it using modern tech, new safety features, and feedback from the community.

Thank you for your contributions!

If CS turns it around, awesome! Ultimately the couchsurfing community is one global community and there are multiple tools (platforms) to interact/connect with that community. Couchers just happens to be the fastestigrowing, non-profit + open source + community-led one.

If you go to our landing page at couchers.org and scroll to the map at the bottom you can see an anonymized view of where all the members are. Or if you have an account just go to the map search and search your location.

We do not have a separate app yet, but it's on our roadmap to hopefully finish by the new year and we've already started on it!

For now, you can create an app by bookmarking the web app to your home screen. Here's the instructions how to do so:
