Couch Connections 2020 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 couldnt 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
