Charles Pizzo has been appointed Couchsurfing Ambassador for New Orleans. Pizzo is a columnist for Ambush, and contributes photographs of the community’s social scene. In his day job, he handles PR and social media for hospitality businesses. Pizzo is a former chair of IABC, the International Association of Business Communicators.
Couchsurfing is a global community of 14 million people in more than 200,000 cities who share their life, their world, and their journey. Couchsurfing connects travelers with a global network of people willing to share in profound and meaningful ways, making travel a truly social experience.
Couchsurfing Ambassadors are a group who exemplify the core values of the group in the way they live and share their lives. They are spread all over the world, from Canada to Ethiopia and many places in between. They are extremely active in their communities, hosting surfers, planning events and attending meet-ups. They understand and respect community guidelines and terms of use, are committed to keeping the local Couchsurfing community active and welcoming to all, and love sharing their culture with locals and travelers alike.
Pizzo has hosted over 250 travelers from all over the world at his home, and amassed over 300 positive references. He has organized over 50 events in New Orleans since joining Couchsurfing three and a half years ago.
