Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted over 100 people and surfed about another 100. If I can't host I help people to find a place. If you think I am only on Couchsurfing because I am trying to pimp my profile then you are wrong. I am here because I love to help people and I want to hear their stories. Talking to people is better than sitting at home and watching TV and the reason why I host is because it's my substitute drug for travelling. I still enjoy the time with every surfer and host and I still believe in the spirit of Couchsurfing although the "company CS" has made that very hard at times. In the past I have organized many meetings and I still do every once in a while.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had been a travel addict for ages but CS changed they way I travel and I wouldn't wanna miss it. I had a great time with the site through the years and met so many interesting people with CS that i can't tell how much I love this project. It's a dream and I will keep it growing with as much effort as I can share. I visited friends and people I met on the internet or somewhere else. I couchsurfed in more than 30 countries on 4 continents. I am a dedicated guest and host.

Interests

Travelling, partying, music, literature, so much to write. I am open minded, that's probably the most important.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, American Beauty, 101 Reykjavik, Virgin Suicides, In China they eat Dogs, Snatch, Long Stockings..., Trainspotting, Wild Style

MUSIC

Daft Punk is my all-time favorite. But as a friend once put it: I like all kinds of music if it's good music :-)

BOOKS

I really like German literature from the 1920s til today. Some of my favs: Hesse, Dürrenmatt, Grass,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't just name one, so here are a few: Floating with manatees in Florida, a motorboat ride on the Volga river in Russia, swimming in the Gulf of Mexico at night and doing a bonfire there, walking through ancient Petra, wondering around Manhattan's west side at dawn, running down sand dunes in Jordan, skydiving by myself in Lithuania.
Every experience I make is unique and I am curious about the one's to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I share my travel wisdom, my organizational skills. I can share my experiences from life. I can take educated guesses based on stereotypes and I am pretty good at that:-D I can teach you how to write a good article and how to find information you need. I have knowledge about the countries I travelled and you are welcome to get a fair share of it if you like. I am a Berlin expert so you can try to enjoy the city with me if I have time.
I learned many things about other people, the common things between the cultures I lived and travelled in and I still think most people are generally good. I still would love to find out about your life, your country, your experience and your viewpoint on the places you are or have been living.
I sometimes share my place too:-D

What I Can Share with Hosts

Read the teach, learn, share section. That pretty much sums it up :-)
