Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host whenever it is somehow possible or if not I at least recommend a different couch, as I know a few of the CSers in Stuttgart. We also organize an annual meeting at the 'Fruehlingsfest' in Stuttgart (-> http://www.stuttgarter-fruehlingsfest.de/), which is kind of a beer festival similar to the famous Oktoberfest. While it is not that crowded and popular it is still said to be the biggest festival of that kind that takes place in spring of whole Europe.

Interests

I do a lot of sports like Aussie Rules Football, rock and ice climbing and snowboarding. I also play bass guitar in a (still ;-)) local punk rock band (-> http://www.killvalmer.com). I like good movies and going to concerts and festivals, and I of course go out to party with friends.
