A few weeks ago I wrote about the fabulous Couch Surfing website that I just found out about (if you missed it you can read the blog HERE.) Since then, I made a profile, joined the network and became a member of the NYC group. Yesterday I received an e-mail alerting me that this week is the 2009 NYC Couch Crash Festival. Couch surfers from all over the world are flying into NYC this week to participate in the largest Couch Surfing Music festival in the United States. The events kicked off on Sunday, but you've still got six more days to take part in the festivities, make some new friends, and get some couches in line for the next time you impulsively book a plane ticket to say Sweden and realize you've got no place to stay.
Picnics, Free Hugs, museums, galleries, walks around the city, bike tours, acoustic shows, dinners, large gatherings, concerts from Couch Surfing Traveling Bands, and after-parties at night are just a few of the activities on the menu. Highlights from the events list include free Bronx Zoo Day, a French dinner party, a 3 borough bike tour, $1 Food Tour, concerts at Southpaw, a Bollywood House Party, a Bulgarian Dance Club, and it all ends with a picnic on Governor's Island on Sunday afternoon. If you want to see the entire event list and find out how to get in on all the action, check out the official website by clicking HERE. Have fun!
