4. BeWelcome / Couchsurfing
BeWelcome ist kostenlos und gemeinnützig. Der eigentliche Wert liegt nicht im gesparten Geld, sondern in den Gesprächen, die man danach führt.
Das ist das Ding mit Couchsurfing, das viele nicht verstehen, bevor sie es ausprobieren. Es geht nicht ums Schlafen.
Die Couch ist nur der Anlass.
Was wirklich passiert, ist ein sozialer Kontrakt, der kaum irgendwo sonst existiert: Zwei Menschen, die sich nicht kennen, öffnen füreinander ihre Wohnung und ihr Leben, ohne Bezahlung, ohne Verpflichtung, nur aus dem Wunsch heraus, jemanden aus einer anderen Welt kennenzulernen.

Parecido a Couchsurfing, pero más comunitario y sin ánimo de lucro.

Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

BeWelcome.org is the world's largest free hospitality community. This means that travellers are offered or can ask for hospitality - from being hosted in the homes of other members, being shown around the city/town, to meeting up for a coffee. #couchsurfing #bewelcome

I tried to add a "Fraud" section on the wikipedia entry for Couchsurfing but couldn't do so because they don't allow forums like Twitter, Reddit as references. But hopefully someone can figure out a way to include this information on the wikipedia entry.

#FridayReview After being a verified member for more than 10 years at @Couchsurfing including hosting and staying with many locals, I got this screen with no other option even to access my account once or backup my data!
That's why I decided to delete it for good!🛑

Why not stay with a host from BeWelcome.org next time you visit Istanbul and learn about it from a local's perspective?

Cool…got a request via Be Welcome for someone to stay next week…she’s from Switzerland! We only had one other person this year because BW has way fewer users than couchsurfing. But will accept (she’s cycling!) and hopefully she makes it.

Have sadly left and deactivated my account with .@couchsurfing because of a poor platform which is not fit for the 21st century & their demand for funding and have moved to the fresh .@BeWelcome a global hosting originated from Europe

BeWelcome is more than just a #hospitalityexchange site, it's a volunteer-run community — users duesseldorf & Saleme have worked together on BeWelcome for a while & recently had the opportunity to meet when she hosted him at her home in (you guessed it) #Düsseldorf!
Nomadic Futures retweeted
Also check out BeWelcome (bewelcome.org), a totally free and open-source hospitality exchange site that will stay that way! We have 180,000 members and growing :))
