Couchsurfing

Thanks to the Couchsurfing application for Android smartphones and tablets you can stay at the house of community members or become a host yourself.

Travel the world, stay with homeowners

There are many types of accommodation when traveling. You can choose to stay in a hotel or hostel, or even in an apartment with Airbnb, but these systems can be kind of cold and impersonal. If what you really want is to meet new people and mingle with the locals, nothing beats couchsurfing to find a place to sleep.

But what is couch surfing?

It's the official application for Android devices of the most popular hospitality exchange service on the web. Its members offer their vacant rooms or even sofas to other members visiting their region, making it a kind of exchange program for travelers.

The service runs in over 100,000 cities worldwide, such as Amsterdam, Paris, London, Athens, Barcelona or Madrid, and is becoming more and more popular as it is a cheap accommodation method and also a great way to meet new people.

By downloading the app you can easily find out where to stay in other Couchsurfing members' homes if you feel like taking a vacation or want to offer your own home when someone visits your town. Sign up, enter your details and search for potential hosts or travelers.
