我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just did a one and a half year long photography project named "couchsurfin' the world" for reporting about online hospiltality networks. Therefore I travelled with different couchsurfers in five different parts of the world to document in pictures how hospitality networks work. Check out my website for updated news about it:

The project is ment to be presented in a book. One of the images just won a prize at the world press photo awards of 2011. Check out wich one here:

Furthermore there will be an exhibition on the topic in Berlin!
