CouchSurfing Collectives were a way for people to improve couchsurfing while not worrying too much about paying rent and food.
How did those CS collectives work btw?
[edit]If Casey wanted to go to a specific country, a scout would be sent to find a house. The Collectives were usually quite chaotic, with some people thinking they had a plan, and others that were completely unaware of this.
The lack of transparency was a big part of this chaos.
What kind of places they were?
[edit]Big houses with plenty of space.
Who organized the house?
[edit]Random people who felt like organizing. Later on people were appointed as "managers".
The food?
[edit]Paid by couchsurfing. People would go shopping with the couchsurfing credit card and otherwise receipts were reimbursed.
How much people there were?
[edit]guaka says too many. Most people weren't actually contributing in any meaningful way.
