Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf. Sometimes take part in events too, should do that more often.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly as a host but surfed 3 different couches, in northern Germany, Finland and Munich. All great experiences! :o)

I love being a part of this community and that's why I've been a verified couchsurfer for a while.

It's a great way to meet people from different backgrounds, travel on the cheap and staying with locals, who usually have great tips on what to do.

I love the way there is no money involved. Especially these days when money is at the centre of so many things, it's great to just give something just for the hell of it, just for the pleasure of having someone new staying with you.

All experiences were pretty positive so far! :o)

Interests

I have many interests and passions , from music to films, books, travelling, good food, the Internet,....

But if I had to pick one, Music would be my main thing, especially Metal.
