France
Some platforms started free and went paid. Sofahop started in response to that — a community built specifically to keep the sofa surfing spirit alive without a paywall. Hosts in Blangy-sur-Ternoise know that history. They're here because they chose to be part of something that stays free, stays community-run, and stays focused on connection.

Join — surf sofas in Blangy-sur-TernoiseA small gift from your home country is a well-established tradition in hospitality exchange communities — nothing expensive, just something that says something about where you're from. Food, drink, or a small cultural item all work well. It's not required, but it's almost always appreciated.
Blangy-sur-Ternoise is one of many destinations across France where Sofahop members are active. Sign up free to see who's already here — and to become part of the community yourself, whether as a traveler or a local who wants to connect.
Hosting means offering accommodation — a spare room, a sofa, whatever you have. Meeting travelers means connecting for a drink, a tour, or local tips without the overnight stay. Both are valid uses of Sofahop, and many members do both at different times.
Yes. Hosts set their own preferences for guests, including couples and small groups. Be transparent in your profile about who you're traveling with and what your setup requires. Most hosts are accommodating if you communicate clearly.
Leave. Your safety comes first, and no Sofahop principle requires you to stay in a situation that feels wrong. Report the issue to the Sofahop team immediately, leave an honest review, and contact your country's embassy if necessary. The community takes safety reports seriously.
Yes. Many Sofahop members use the platform exactly this way — meeting for a coffee, a guided neighbourhood walk, or a day trip. You can mark your profile as open for meetups rather than hosting, and connect with locals who enjoy showing visitors around France.
Yes, always carry travel insurance when traveling internationally. Sofahop's community is trustworthy, but travel insurance covers the things that are nobody's fault: medical emergencies, flight cancellations, lost luggage. It's a separate issue from the accommodation platform.
Be specific and genuine. Say something real about why you travel, what you're looking for, and why Blangy-sur-Ternoise interests you. Add photos that show your face. List genuine interests. The profiles that get responses are the ones that read like actual people wrote them — because they did.
You can leave an honest review and report any issues to the Sofahop team. The mutual review system means bad actors quickly become visible to the rest of the community. It's self-correcting: the people who stay active are the people who take the exchange seriously.
That's between you and your host. Most stays range from one to five nights. Longer stays are possible if both sides agree — just communicate clearly up front, and be realistic about what's sustainable for your host.
