Christopher has definitely accomplished something amazing, this documentary is definitely worth watching, said so, it's a bit missing the point how going from one place to another without much content and story, what I like the most is his point of view what it is lacking the most is the story about his prospects.. I mean what does make him choose the next couch and what is the cultural differences between him and what he lives, overall a positive documentary! Well done Christopher!!!
Plot summary
Christoph Pehofer took a nine-month journey through North America and Asia. Staying in hostels was a rare alternative. What he did instead was sleeping in complete strangers' living rooms - Couchsurfing is the concept behind this. The world seems to separate people more than connecting them. A private couch shows a place of approach and strangers becoming friends. Therefore, the main focus of the film is on the people which participate in Couchsurfing and their great diversity. His hosts couldn't have been more different from one another: from a 21-year-old student in a student dorm, to a family in which three generations take part in Couchsurfing, to a nudist in Manhattan and a transgender in Bangkok.

Inspirational and genuine
Fun, raw and kind
Well, im not a big fun of documentaries but this was undoubtedly very fun and heartwarming 1hour and 12mins. I liked Christophs vision showing the different approaches of different hosts towards the guests. Basically i realized that every culture like people has "personality" itself. Best of lucks to him. Hope he will make more films with interesting stories. Thanks
I was smiling like a little kid while watching the movie!
This was such an amazing emotional journey. I really feel the need to thank all of those people that took part in such an amazing experience. Filming this must have been both challenging and awkward at times but the result was really worth it. It was such a refreshing film, full of spontaneity, good vibes and exciting moments. It brought happy tears to my eyes and made me realise how much more there is to this world. Also there is so much good out there, people with great hearts always willing to share their homes and become a part of something bigger. Indeed "faith in humanity has been restored". Well done and thank you!
