A stay is just the beginning. Some of the best travel moments happen when everything comes together: the right host, a great event, a fellow traveler you didn't know you'd meet. When you send a stay request, you'll select or create a trip to go with it. This connects your stay to your travel plans so you can keep everything organized in one place, and it opens up a whole lot more than just a place to sleep.
Trips Turn a Stay Into a Real Adventure
When your stay is part of a trip, Couchsurfing gets to work for you:
- Your host's location is added to your trip automatically
- Events you're interested in or planning to attend show up right alongside your stay
- You can see other travelers heading to the same destination around the same time
- Everything, your stay, your events, the people you might meet, lives in one place
You're not just booking a couch. You're building a trip. And the more you add to it, the richer the whole experience gets.
Do I Need to Set Up a Trip Before I Request?
Nope! Just tap or click New Trip when prompted and one gets created for you on the spot. You can always fill in the details later.
What If I Already Have a Trip for That Destination?
Even better. Select it when you send your request and the stay gets added automatically. No extra steps, your itinerary just gets better.
