Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After living approximately 10 years in Antalya, I had to move here. And I wanna make some local and international friends whom I can have a cup of coffee, go to the theatre, concerts, ice skating, rock climbing, joining festivals, go to the museums etc.
Specially I’m looking for a native German friends to be able to practice Deutsch. Aber:) other friends from all over the world and local friends are also welcome. I’m straight, atheist and vegetarian:) BUT I respect people’s race, religion, sexual preferences. And kids and pets are welcome also:)
