PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live :-)
Only the open-minded get to experience the world from many perspectives ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to make new friends, love to learn about different cultures, l love to host and cook for people.
I 'm open-minded and respect people's opinion and way of life, please be open-minded and respectful too if you are my guest. I regret some people are only on this site to find a free 'hotel' , please don't ruin this site for other surfers who mean well and really want to get to know their hosts and their local habits , culture and way of life.
Please be around my age ( +/- 10 years difference) so we can be more or less in the same stage of life , which is easier to share thoughts.
If you send me a request , please read my profile and make your request personal , starting with my name which is Karsten :-)
