Hey everyone,

After days of testing the app and navigating the new design, I noticed that hangout as we knew it totally disappeared and merged into events, now if you want to hangout spontaneously with more than one person, first you'll need to connect with him on hangout, then create an event on couchsurfring so others may join in. This solution is also answered on their FAQ blog.

I see users already started adapting and creating these daily events titled ( want to explore the area, do something,... Etc) I guess hangout lost its main purpose which was meeting people instantly without a proper event preparation.

On a positive note, since the update, a lot of bugs got fixed.

Let's see how it goes

Hey,

Last time I tried pour l'amour du burger Belleville, I was awesome, I want to try tonight specimen burgersig anyone is keen to join hit me up, we will try to be a a group of 2-4 people max

See you

Guys this may be super subjective but what's the best burger place in Paris, except the ones promoted by influcencers?

Team,

While it is healthy to keep ranting about how soulless and empty the new design is, I would like to start a brainstorming thread, what does couchsurfing has(except the huge awesome community) that other alternatives don't, maybe, we can find out how to prioritize certain features to be implemented in bewelcome and couchers, in my case I think about two things already:

Couchsurfing has events and many subscribers

Couchsurfing has been promoted by many travel vloggers, can't bewelcome, couchers do the same or travel vloggers are only looking for profit?

I am friends with many travel vloggers on couchsurfing, I will try to reach out to them to understand where do they stand, why do they keep using couchsurfing and not the other alternatives

Let me know , your thoughts

edit: Please bare with me, if you spot any typos please forgive me, i am riding a bicycle and I couldn't wait to be on my laptop to write down this thought properly

Hey couchsurfers and future couchers I guess 😂😂,

I contacted support because I couldn't access despite having paid my yearly due tax, this is what I got, I hope they will solve it quickly and for the love of us, I hope they change that soulless theme 🙏

Hi XYZ,
