One Couch at a Time

About This Movie

So, 'One Couch at a Time' is this fascinating dive into the CouchSurfing phenomenon, you know? Filmed over 7 months, Alexandra Liss takes you along as she travels through 21 countries on 6 continents. It’s like a raw, unfiltered look at how people share their homes and lives. The pacing feels almost like a travelogue, with bits of spontaneity you’d expect from a documentary that’s not trying to impress anyone. The atmosphere is laid-back yet full of warmth, showcasing the kindness of strangers. And the practicalities of couch surfing—like the little quirks of each host—are captured in a way that feels very genuine. It’s a neat chronicle of this emerging age of sharing, without all the gloss of a traditional travel doc.
