HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Let people stay at my place and enable them to experience a wide variety of moments in Leipzig or whereever I am hosting. I'm a good listener and I'm curious about your stories. I also like to go around for surfing to experience the everyday life of people and the place I've choosen to explore. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've only made positive experiences. CS is not just about a place to stay, it's about a cultural exchange. Your own personal tourist information officer and personal guide to each place of your choice. When I have the possibility I like to host people and spend some time with my Surfers. In Magdeburg for example I hosted four students from Berlin for four weeks. That was my longest CS experience. It was great and I don't say that because it was during the christmas market season where they had a langos booth and I could eat as much as I wanted ;D

I can highly recommend reading the following books: - by Hermann Hesse (all! but it's ok if you start with 'Demian' or 'Steppenwolf') - by Albert Camus ('The myth of Sisyphus' - that's all about life, isn't it?!) - by Juli Zeh ('Corpus delicti' is awesome) - by Annie Leonard 'The story of stuff' - by Haruki Murakami Musicians that really impressed me: - Chilly Gonzales - Nils Frahm Besides I usually prefer rock, alternative and indie. Sometimes jazz but it depends. My punk and heavy metal phases are over actually. Movies? This list (that includes among others Tarantino and Kubrick) is simply too long to put it here. Just ask me when we meet. By the way I usually avoid watching series. It's not because I don't like them, it's because I know that they are made for making me addicted. And I just don't have the time for being addicted to series.
