I was interviewed for a mini-documentary + article about Couchsurfing. You can see it here:
https://www.lx.com/entertainment/is-the-couch-surfing-revolution-still-alive/49918/

It’s a nice video with a positive message in the end. The only thing it’s missing, I’d say, is a mention of some alternative couchsurfing platforms like https://www.trustroots.org/ and https://www.bewelcome.org/ – those that haven’t morphed into an evil profit-driven company 😁

I explained the whole Couchsurfing story in more detail here- https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2020/05/26/the-death-of-couchsurfing/
That’s why I’m in this mini-doc 😀

I've never heard of couchsurfing before, this looks very interesting. See, now I'm more excited for your book, haha 😀

haha :) It was a really nice project for a few years, and a really great idea that allowed people to connect all over the world. Hopefully it will still live on through different projects in a more decentralized way :)
