The Summer after graduating high school is sometimes used to travel, taking extended backpacking trips or other. Couching could be a big hit for this demographic that takes a cultural immersion.

I see 900+ Couchers registered among a few of the New York City boroughs. My impression is that this means someone can live in NYC for an entire Summer, couch-surfing the big city and establishing a real connection with at least 60 hosts. That would be quite an experience, with many stories to share.

Sounds like my idea of Hell, but i'm introverted.


Top locations have way more people interested in couchsurfing than there are people hosting, so probably not feasible.


I am a couchers host in NYC and don't actually get too many requests! I host someone about once or twice a month.


How’s your towel design?


Terrible but worth it for the location
