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.
A 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.
