Couchsurfing International Inc. is a hospitality exchange and social networking website. The website provides a platform for members to "surf" on couches by staying as a guest at a host's home, host travelers, or join an event. As of January 2013, there were over 5.5 million registered profiles at Couchsurfing. (Wikipedia)
