About

The Melbourne CouchSurfing Summer Festival 2009 has been organised by Melbourne's CouchSurfing community. The CouchSurfing community wishes to change the world, one couch at a time.  We do this by opening up our home or offering our time, and sharing experiences with new people from around the globe.

There is no typical CouchSurfer - we are professionals, students, families, artists, travelers and everything in between. We share a common bond of wanting to make the world a better place while bringing people and cultures together.

The Melbourne CouchSurfing community is one of the most vibrant CouchSurfing communities in the world.  Dedicated locals are constantly striving to open Melbourne up to visitors, share connections with new people and show that Melbourne is an amazing and exciting place to visit and live.

CouchSurfing is more than just free accommodation. It is about creating connections with new people, opening up the world to all its inhabitants, creating cultural exchanges and forging new friendships that stretch all over the world.  As CouchSurfers, we are committed to making CouchSurfing a fun, safe and caring way to experience the world.

The Melbourne CouchSurfing Summer Festival 2009 is about celebrating our CouchSurfing community and showcasing to the world how amazing Melbourne really is!

We aim to incorporate our community's values of encouraging tolerance, creating cultural exchanges, and making connections worldwide. Members from our international community will flock from all parts of the globe to attend the CS Summer Fest in Melbourne.  For more information on how Couch Surfing is changing the world, one couch at a time, visit www.couchsurfing.org.
