  • Summary

  • Once a thriving community for budget travelers, Couchsurfing has seen a dramatic decline in recent years. From the introduction of paid subscriptions to growing safety concerns, especially for women, the platform has struggled to maintain its former glory. While some travelers still find success in regions like the Middle East, many have turned to alternatives like BeWelcome and Trustroots. The shift from a non-profit to a B corp has also been cited as a key factor in the community's decline. Despite these challenges, a few loyal users continue to share positive experiences. Could Couchsurfing make a comeback, or is it time to say goodbye to this once-beloved travel platform? For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
