To sleep at someone elses' home (esp. on the individual's couch) for an indefinite period of time. An act perpetrated mostly by college students, slackers, junkies, skaters, snowboarders, punks, ravers, clubbers, goths, hippies, cult members, or any other individual in need of a place to stay and willing to mooch said place from a friend, relative, or complete stranger willing to oblige them.

A social networking tool for travelers to use while voyaging on the cheap. Done alone, in pairs, or in groups, couchsurfing can be done in over 250 countries with more than 2,000,000 couchsurfers worldwide. Popularized by its website, all that's required is to simply create a profile and request or offer a couch. Costs nothing but the memories and experiences are priceless.
