Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In former times CS was like the doors to heaven: cool people, helping you out when you were traveling with nothing but a tent and never-ending youth-passion. Experiences, excitement, endless summer!
Now as I am older, I'm not that self focused anymore and also I seem to have overcome the "material" component. I could afford AirBnB - although I am not rich. But I find myself reading the profile self descriptions of some people here with enthusiam and pleasure - it's really inspiring and yes - I feel the community spirit: I like couch surfers! I like the Idea of living together, sharing over the borders of countries and cultures! This is the way, live and politics should be!
Now I am more settled: I work, I worked in a school as a teacher and i had some times with absolutly no time for myself. At the moment, too, I have to work a lot. But in my freetime I still enjoy every single moment and don't like the ideas of standard - relaxation (that means TV...) but prefere sharing moments, discovering, doing...freedom.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i drove my bike and got off my shirt while driving, althoug i had a big backpack (15kg) on my shoulders! without stopping. For me this was really heroic...
Getting a public bus chanting christmas songs from Sommerhausen to Würzburg - during the time with my incredible Christmas Band.
Chanting Vivaldis "Gloria" with an orchester in my choir.
This with Gorilla Deathtrap: https://www.facebook.com/gorilladeathtrap/videos/901744956676589/?__xts__[0]=68.ARA7pSdpli3AQY0FAGE3f8dLoVwqJvPvGT2K-Zn02IrxtGt-87KMN2wm9VIgLUhxjcAWlr7wqzIHWUkFU3iCCWvRGdkDeQU4gRPBHJbhiVndYI4aBa-s0cAazfilWVYXAmhIqKXXnF9baUDqgnFXBKGLuBo6zQX4U5aPzo6DA6PYMG5xEuU3ypOzKdVONrqiZd1lUGUsgGsOx1lK81w6TeeeI9N_yoaPT10tNvsz73bmyHDhhTkTp_zA3PTQVC2VyfKVhT5k91779b95IK5yxB3U1mVRv4HGiPR1T7v7c2yYA-mMbuKX6ZZTXPHqFGrYluL_tUol_F4upKcAr8c6te_9IAUnFNc&__tn__=H-R
