By travelling and hosting visitors in Germany and show them around. I really like the idea, the couchsurfing culture, meeting local people with international and global mindset. I surfed couches in Europe (Spain) and the US, Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica. I addition, I met with couchsurfers for language exchange and "beergarden" meetings in Munich, Germany. I went "hitchbiking" from Anchorage, Alaska, USA, via Canada, through the lower 48. I was glad to experience the hospitality of the so many people. "Hitchbiking" means I traveled by bike but I also used other means of transportation (any kind of truck that would give me a ride, busses, boats, ships etc). CS helped me so much that I´d like to give sth back to the community now - as I have a home "again".
