Volunteer dev for Couchers here, crazy seeing this pop up here!

Anyway to answer the question, we are totally separate from Couchsurfing.org!

We created Couchers in 2020 after Couchsurfing put up a pay wall, after going for-profit and going downhill for awhile.

We want to keep the original Couchsurfing spirit alive, so we started Couchers.org.
