Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hitherto, I've used it to visit interesting people in interesting places. I am always happy to go for coffee with people with whom I've something to share. I work internationally, so like to experience people in and of different places and hopefully remain friends; I feel very intercultural myself and thrive on exchanges of context.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to have a profile here but it flew south with my email address. I previously stayed with people during a trip around Eastern Europe to research experimental theatre. I also hosted people at my apartment in Berlin.
