Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not so much interested in looking for hosts, as I mainly travel to Crete ( hiking, sea kayak ) but I enjoy having visitors from all over the world and if possible from other planets too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first guests were two students from Finland. Apart from exploring Koblenz we spent one weekend with singing, playing instruments an sharing songs. I still miss them.

Interests

I like meeting people, gardening, travelling, folk music, traditional jazz, plays guitar, banjo, diatonic harmonica, cretan and scottish bagpipe, singing, sea cayak, hiking, dogs.
