Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Matt and Zena: We want to meet you, host you, cook some food for you or with you, and help this great community to grow. We also may need a couch once in a while.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Matt: I've hosted surfers from Sweden, Amsterdam, France, the UK, and the US. All of these folks have had unique personalities and been great to know.

Zena: I have traveled a lot as a student and housed unknown friends of family from abroad. I love finding similarities and sharing completely new ideas before parting ways.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

MATT:
Movies- Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Grizzly Man, Punch Drunk Love, Deep Blue, Royal Tenembauns, The Life Aquatic, V for Vendetta. A good movie can entertain or inspire me.

Books- Italo Calvino, Books about baking bread.

ZENA:
Movies-Wes Anderson, Terry Gilliam, old Ray Harryhausen effects, Ratcatcher, Delicatessen, Dracula, Jack and the Giant Killer..oh and Planet Earth!!
Music-Give me something spacious enough to dance in. Crazy classical or New Age or absurd. If it isn't ridiculous, it is very quiet.
Books-adventure and philosophies. and graphic novels.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Matt: Scuba diving with sharks was a very amazing experience for me. It was an experience that helped me connect with nature and rediscover my views on human and animal relationships. I can talk forever about the ocean, scuba diving, etc...

Zena: I have seen lightning from the top of a Mayan temple above the rainforest canopy, surrounding all sides as far as the eye can see! It was too beautiful, I almost didn't come down. I understand why they built temples so high.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Matt: I can bake bread with you. I love sharing kitchen tips and making food with others. We also love to break out some paint and canvas occasionally. Circus skills of any kind to be taught or learned. German speakers encouraged to surf with us - we'd love to improve our conversational Deutsch!!

Zena: I would love to share tips and new ideas for delicious healthy vegan food. Or ways to dance or take care of the body. I believe we teach and learn for each other whenever we create together.
