Who Are We?
GOT A COUCH? — More Than Just a Place to Stay
GOT A COUCH? is an international community that brings travelers and local people together from around the world. Our ambition is simple: to help everyone travel differently, meet genuine people, and discover each destination through those who actually live there.
On GOT A COUCH?, members can offer free accommodation in the spirit of sharing, publish a paid stay, or simply introduce travelers to their city, culture, and favorite local places. Every connection should remain human, transparent, and respectful.
A Team United by One Vision
Our team brings together people with different backgrounds, cultures, and complementary skills. Technology, travel, user support, safety, content creation, and community development — we work together to build a global platform that is simple, welcoming, and accessible.
This diversity reflects the very spirit of GOT A COUCH? — different people meeting, exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and building connections beyond borders.
Travel with Greater Confidence
Trust is at the heart of our project. We are progressively developing tools designed to make interactions and stays safer, including detailed profiles, identity verification, community reviews, integrated messaging, reporting tools, and member support.
Our Gota assistants also support travelers and hosts throughout their journey — from choosing a destination and planning a budget to organizing a stay, getting assistance, and discovering local recommendations.
Technology helps us make travel easier, but it will never replace genuine human connection.
A Community Open to the World
GOT A COUCH? is for everyone who believes that travel is about more than simply booking a room. Behind every destination, there is a story, a culture, and people ready to share them.
Our mission is to make these connections simpler and more accessible while respecting everyone's freedom of choice. Free community hosting remains true to its spirit of sharing, while paid stays allow hosts to offer additional services and more complete experiences.
Building a New Way to Travel — Together
GOT A COUCH? is an evolving project, built together with its community. Every review, every suggestion, and every new connection helps us improve the platform.
We want to create a world where people do not simply visit a city — they meet the people who make it unique.
Welcome to GOT A COUCH? The world feels closer when we discover it together.
