Abstract

This paper discusses the findings of a netnographic immersion held on Couchsurfing.com, web platform dedicated to hospitality exchanges. It is map disputes arising from the clash between the philosophy of its constitution, derived from the counterculture, and the practice observed there, especially regarding: the density demands of developed relationships, the reciprocal expectations for hosting and legitimizing codes of the community.
