Surf A Couch
Surf A Couch, founded by Steve Braithwaite, helps travelers create a private map of trusted hosts — friends, family, or acquaintances — ensuring safe, personal, and hassle-free stays while traveling.
We created SurfACouch to help travelers build and manage their own private network of hosts — friends, family, or acquaintances who are happy to offer a couch (or even a spare room) for a short stay. Unlike public couchsurfing platforms, SurfACouch gives you full control over who’s on your map and who sees it.
Our mission is simple:
Make connecting with hosts easy, safe, and personal.
- Pin and organize potential hosts on a personal map.
- Share your map with select people or keep it private.
- Plan trips knowing exactly who you can reach out to for a stay
- Strengthen connections by hosting friends in return.
SurfACouch isn’t about strangers — it’s about surfing through your own trusted circle. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or someone who loves hosting friends from afar, SurfACouch helps you keep those connections at your fingertips.
