PHILOSOPHY

dunno, wish it had a name

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

aaw, i hate these questions, surfing and hosting is not exactly a creative answer, right?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After moving out of my mum`s place (who didn`t even allow me to bring cats and dogs home that I found) I started hosting without being on CS by picking up travellers who didnt know where to stay. Did that on a more regular basis when I was working in Indonesia and now signed up for serious business.
So haha Mum, you can`t stop me!
No honestly: the best invention ever and even if you end up with weird people or in weird situations (which happens from time to time) it will still be interesting and worth a good laugh afterwards...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a diving teacher so if you live in the tropics by the seaside and STILL didnt try diving i could teach you - though you must really be a weirdo then!
could teach you funny languages like Indonesian or Amharic that you will probably never need and how to wiggle only one ear (trained that for years)
