Couchers.org is a non-profit and free platform, built by volunteers and responsible to the couch surfing community, instead of investors. Our goal is to reclaim couch surfing and make it easy and safe for people to connect across cultures, keeping the free-sharing spirit alive and all the amazing travel experiences accessible to everyone. For this we’re including some of the best features from other platforms but tackling the main issues such as: profit incentives, safety, disconnect from community needs, or outdated functionality.

Hipcamp allows to break down barriers normally set by private land access by the public. It's an amazing idea and it's probably going to keep expanding around the world because it's a win-win for both campers and landowners (local farms, ranches, etc).

Yep, it's an issue with couchsurfing, nobody wants to leave a negative reference. This was actively being discussed in couchers.org. I myself felt pretty uncomfortable leaving a neutral reference once. Source: 11 months ago
You could also use couchers.org. It's more a follow-up to the broken couchsurfing.com, so a much wider scope. Currently it's free and says it will stay that way, they want to go with volunteer effort. Source: 12 months ago
Couchsurfing: my preferred way of touring: you get to meet great and likeminded people, you don't have to lug around camping gear (although it's good to bring an indoor-sleeping bag). The site with name couchsurfing.com is broken. But the oldschool warmshowers.org and the new couchers.org are great! You have to treat this type of hospitality as a gift and not consider it a free service. If you can, hosting others... Source: 12 months ago
Also, I would suggest joining a hospitality org. The best, original one is Servas - www.servas.org - but there's couchers.org, trustroots.org and others. it could help you immensely. Source: almost 1 year ago
