ABOUT ME

Let's just say I am easygoing ;) I'll get along with everybody as long as they don't take my bad jokes too serioulsy. For more details:
likes: getting to know new places and people, travelling, organizing trips, talking, music, walking through a city aimlessly, beer :D

PHILOSOPHY

Relax, take it easy (I totally agree with Mika)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting and surfing of course :) If I have the time I´ll go for a walk through the city with my couchsurfers and hit the pubs with them.
Also I love to meet other hosts and couchsurfers during CS meetings.
