Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my teen and 20s', I encountered people who were welcoming enough to let me stay at their places (didn't have Couchsurfing back then) and showed me around as I traveled. I would like to return the favor to similarly minded folks. I enjoyed and still enjoy sharing cultures (food, language, philosophy, etc.) with people of all backgrounds.

I often travel to Europe a lot (mostly Köln, Germany), and would be great if we can do couch swap. I like the concept of CS and would like to meet similarly minded individuals. I'm relatively easy going and openminded enough to do Couchsurfing.
