PHILOSOPHY
I'm a happy sceptic, or so I was told.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host if I can, I surf, I drink coffee and I drink drinks. Sometimes I maybe.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed couches in Germany, Austria, Greece, Italy and Romania, and hosted many guests in Frankfurt and Vienna. My experiences are 100% positive. If you made bad experiences you choose the wrong people or the wrong people choose you. Think about it and talk it over with your psychologist :P.
Seriously: I met wonderful people. From strangers who were dropping in 2:00 at night for a short nap until their next airplane at 6:30 to people who were becoming close friends, and still are, many years later.
