CURRENT MISSION

Experiencing and spreading joy and happiness

ABOUT ME

The references I got from guests, hosts, and fellow travellers here on CS are the best description about me I can offer you.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is FABULOUS :D
Happiness is a potential within everyone of us. Believe in yourself & enjoy the little things in life, for example having an ice-cold beer with good friends on the balcony or even better next to the river/lake/sea in summertime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS enabled me to get to know highly likeable locals from several trips I undertook e.g. in Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, and Greece. So far, I myself hosted people from Japan, Belarus, Iran, Germany, Denmark, Spain, the USA, Czech Republic, and Algeria.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most spectacular things I've experienced?
-> The sea.
I can spend hours lying on the beach and watching the movement of the waves. Especially while having an ice-cold coffee-frappé and jolly people around.

Another incredible thing is the tremendous politeness of some people I met and all of my CS hosts. Some even gave me their key on the first day of my arrival. Just think of it for a moment: You have never seen sb. before, he may even not have a single reference on CS, yet you smile, trust, and give him the key of your apartment.

But the most fascinating thing I experience is life itself. It blows my mind every single day.
