What shall I say? I've heard about Couchsurfing from one of my friends a while ago. More than I love traveling is meeting people spontaneously while doing so: The other day, I had a chat with one of the merchants of a cheese shop in Amsterdam for like 20 minutes and basically we figured out the rest of my route through the Netherlands together. It's incredible to what places one can get by meeting new people and not being afraid to start a conversation with them. So yeah: "Hi, my name is Chris and I'm 25 years old:D "

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting awesome people I would have missed out otherwise.

Teach, Learn, Share

That's a tough one. Besides being somewhat talented in the kitchen, I never got bad feedback for my "Piano 101" lessons I gave to some people

When it comes to learing, I'd love to get to know how to cook local dishes (I'm writing my own recipe book at the moment - no worries, it's rather a collection of dishes I like). Also trying to get deeper into Meditation recently and always improving my guitar skillz.

When there is one thing I can share with you, that would be my openness towards new things. Whenever I listen to somebody with a non-common opinion on a topic, I'm getting super curious why he/she is thinking like that, and I try to adapt their viewpoint.
