Campo Alegre de Lourdes sees visitors from every corner of the world. Some are passing through Brazil for a few days; others are staying for months.

Built-in messaging to arrange stays and get to know your host or guest before you meet in person. Every Sofahop stay starts with a conversation — which is exactly the point.
No paywall, ever
Sofahop was built specifically in response to CouchSurfing going paid in 2020. The commitment to remaining free is not just a policy — it's the reason the platform exists.
Reciprocal by design
Travelers who stay with hosts are encouraged to host in return. The more you give, the more you get. The community is designed to make giving and receiving feel like the same thing.

Join the Campo Alegre de Lourdes local networkProfile verification, government ID checks for members who opt in, mutual reviews from previous stays, and the community's self-correcting nature all contribute. No system is perfect, but Sofahop's track record across the hospitality exchange community globally is consistently strong.
Honesty, respect, and basic consideration. Clean up after yourself. Communicate clearly about arrival times. Don't overstay. Leave a genuine review. Show interest in your host and in Brazil. None of this is complicated — it's just the kind of guest you'd want in your own home.
Sofahop has active communities across Brazil, with hosts in hundreds of cities. The platform is newer than CouchSurfing but growing steadily — especially as word spreads among travelers who've already discovered that free doesn't mean low quality.
Absolutely. Every host on the platform was a first-timer once. Setting up a profile, describing your space honestly, and starting with one guest is how it begins. Many Sofahop hosts say their first stay was the one that made them realize they wanted to keep doing it.
Read the reviews from previous guests carefully — both what they say and how they say it. Look for specific detail rather than generic praise. A host with ten specific, varied reviews from different travelers is more trustworthy than one with three glowing one-liners.
Genuine interest in meeting travelers, honest communication, a comfortable space (however modest), and local knowledge worth sharing. The best hosts aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest apartments — they're the ones who are most invested in making their guests feel welcome in Brazil.
Once you've joined, you can search by city, filter by availability and interests, and send messages to potential hosts. Every profile shows reviews from previous guests. Write a personal message that explains who you are and why you want to stay — generic messages are easy to ignore.
It's encouraged but not required immediately. The community is built on reciprocity — if you stay with someone in Campo Alegre de Lourdes, consider hosting a traveler when you're back home. Most long-term members do both, and they consistently say hosting is as rewarding as traveling.
Absolutely. Many Sofahop members in Campo Alegre de Lourdes aren't hosting — they're meeting travelers for coffee, showing them around, or just connecting with interesting people passing through Brazil. The platform supports all levels of engagement.
That's fully supported. You can set your profile to 'meet travelers' rather than 'host', and connect for coffee, city tours, or local tips without offering accommodation. Many active Sofahop members never host — they just enjoy the connections.
