Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just do it...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First I found out about couchsurfing I had five couchsurfers at my place and really enjoyed it... then I travelled for a long time... now I had a lot of couchsurfers at my place. everyone was an expierience and I love it.

Interests

... in almost everything... and of course in traveling and meeting people all over the world...

ok I see... in almost everything is too easy to say...
to begin with I'm interested in the most wide range of cultures, habits, mentalities, countries and living circumstances. I prefer sleeping outside in a sleeping bag than sleeping in a luxury 5* Hotel. I love languages (although I'm not that talented to speak) and I try things first and then I judge wether I like it or not.
In creativity like design, architecture, new media, furniture, clothes, textiles, corporate design, art, photography, writing, drawing, theater and so on...I'm curious about, but also in cooking, talking, music, open air cinemas, going out, dancing, sleeping, swimming, walking....
I love reading but prefer intelligent litarature which means authors with the ability to turn language into written art... Anyway, there is a lot more but I leave this for you to explore by yourself...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did you ever stand in front of a glacier? A wall made out of ice which is more then 10.000 years old, 60 m high and 4 km wide? and then a huge piece of ice breaks in front of your eyes and falls into a green blue lake with an amazing sound.... In that moment I felt so small and unimportant... Perito Moreno, Argentina, Glaciar of the Andes 1998...nature is the greatest gift we have
