Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Why not right? The best part of traveling is always the interaction with locals, so why not roll it into cheap housing as well?

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

- Spent four months living in Jerusalem studying world religions

Lehren, lernen, teilen

We travel to experience the world in its full spectrum of rich variety and thereby learn from its inhabitants. We are strong believers of John Stuart Mill’s theory that truth can only be gained through the clashing of ideas and therefore want to expose ourselves to as many different ideas as possible. Whatever insights you have to offer, we are interested in them.
Also we really like having fun so let’s do that :)

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Can teach you about gender politics and how to slack line if you have one, in which case you probably wouldn’t need lessons haha. We’re going to be traveling to quite a few countries this fall/winter so we can bring you candies from other places. Also we travel with silk mummy liners and towels, so no need to worry about providing us with sheets/towels or washing them after we leave.

We are pretty easy guests and will follow your lead on how much time you want to spend with us. Let us know how we can help out with chores etc. If you want to talk, sweet!!! If not, cool thanks for letting us hang!
