On June 12, 2004, the Couchsurfing website launched with the goal of connecting travelers to a global network of people willing to open up their homes and share their lives with strangers. Since its beginning, Couchsurfing has touched the lives of over 12 million people in over 200,000 cities and in all seven continents. At Couchsurfing HQ, we’re in awe of the extraordinary generosity we see every day throughout the world.

On June 12, we’re celebrating 12 years of openness, sharing, and hospitality. If you can’t make it to our celebration in San Francisco on June 11, there are Couchsurfing events happening all over the world that weekend. Check out the list below to find a Couchsurfing event near you!
