It’s the ultimate three-for-one experience: travel the world, stay for free, and hook-up. Couchsurfing.com is available in 100,000 cities across the world and allows wanderers to stay for free on the couches of willing hosts.

In eight months of using the service, Riccardo (pseudonymn) hooked up with five of the eight girls that he’s hosted. This is a success rate of 62%, which goes up even higher if you count the girls who climbed into his bed for a cuddle and fell asleep.

The site explicitly forbids contacting users for the purpose of dating, which it considers “harassment”, but this hasn’t stopped users like Riccardo using it for what is commonly referred to as “cooch surfing”.

“The first time, I had two girls that stayed … I didn’t sleep with either. Big fail!”

Another member Ana B. even met her husband and fell pregnant through the site.

And, considering that the crowdsourced hospitality site has experienced growing pains lately, with 40% of their workers being laid-off and losing CEO Tony, this could be a profitable alternative that leads to an, ahem, happy ending for all.
