To travel as much as possible (although not very doable lately)

ABOUT ME

Don't like to describe myself, other people should tell that!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Work to live (and travel), not the opposite.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had 97 couchsurfing (and hospitalityclub) experiances as a guest and 21 people stayed at my place so far.

I had my first bad experience after 101 positive, in Osaka, Japan. The host that I was supposed to stay with left me on the street at midnight without wanting to meet me. And the negative reference she wrote for me just confirms her strange lying character, or maybe the few sms I sent her in order to meet are stalking.
But there has to be exceptions to the rule, that the CS-ers are great people.

Everyone else was great, some more, some much more :), and I say to everyone who hasn't had such experiance and who is sceptical or affraid of going to someone's place or accepting unknown person at home, that everyone who is willing to travel like this is certainly great person. Some of my hosts even gave me the key of their home after just several hours knowing each other (thats entirely personal will).
