While accommodations vary greatly from bed to bed, one thing is always certain: there is usually no photo of where you sleep. However, the descriptions written by the hosts usually give a sense of what to expect—whether it’s a private room, a couch, or sometimes even sharing a bed with the host. This lack of certainty makes each couch stay feel like its own unique experience, shaped by the host and the space they offer.

Each photo in the series features a different host—someone from a distant country with a unique story, occupation, and lifestyle. The range is amazing: a free woman in Mexico who works at Booking.com and parties every night, a government spokesperson from Canada, and a nudist in Brooklyn. Natcha’s lens captures not just the hosts but the subtle dynamics that play out when living under someone else’s roof—sometimes cozy, sometimes awkward, but always personal.

The project began during Natcha’s time at art school in New York, where she turned to Couchsurfing as a way to alleviate the loneliness of starting a new city. For him, it was more than a way to find a bed for the night—it was an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow. The series is a portrait of these connections—some fleeting, some existential—and a reflection on how, in the end, we’re all just travelers looking for a place to call home.
