I'm very saddened by the news.

To me couchsurfing was not only about hosting people to my place (which I hope I can continue doing after the pandemic) but also about their events.

The weeks I couldn't or didn't feel like hosting strangers to my place, I could still meet random foreigners in bars or outside.

My city had 3 weekly events in addition to random theme events, from board game nights and sport activities to cooking classes.
