Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to offer a couch in the future. At the moment though, I do not even inhabit a place of my own and stay at my father's in the countryside. After my stay abroad, however, things will change...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There is magic in every beginning, as Hermann Hesse once said. Hence, I can confess that this is my first time on CS... I have never used it before and am curious about its possibilities and advantages...

Interests

too much for one small box, I guess but here are a few of them:

travelling: especially to countries in Central and Eastern Europe. That's your closer neighbourhood, some might say. But it's more than exciting to see the vibrant diversity and cultural cocktail in as small a region as ours (I wouldn't like to call Europe a continent)

Language, Music, Food: comes with the travelling

Archeology: for other people it is just a pile of stones; for me it is a window to our ancestors - whether Celts, Romans or Parthians does not matter - I am absorbed by antiquity.

Theater: Although I rarely have the opportunity to participate, I always love to be on stage.

I have seen Zubr - the last wild Bisons roaming Europe. That's pretty amazing I guess.
