About Me

Hi, I am Jorg.

I am currently travelling in Europe by bicycle. I am new to couch surfing and hope to meet interesting people through this network.

You can find out more about me and my bike travels here (English and German version):

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to find people with similar interests, to exchange opinions, experiences, wishes and fears and everything else that make human life interesting.
I think it is a great way to help each other out. I am travelling now and can therefore not host people (- unless you want to share my tent). I am currently looking for places to stay, but I am very happy to return the welcomes, warmth and efforts, when I get to be the host.

BOOKS: among many, many others: George Orwell - 1984, Carlos Ruiz Zafon - Shadow of the wind, Naomi Klein - Shock Doctrine (but everything really)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made another person smile.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is only possible to teach all that I know,
it is absolutely desirable to learn everything I can.
and it is truly responsible to share everything I have.

I'd love to share time, laughs, experiences, wishes and fears, good food, stories and memories
