Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thats a difficult question, there was a lot which was amazing for me.

A pretty recent event that moved me alot was in Ecuador: we climbed a mountain, and close to the top we found a 19 years young climber that had an accident falling down the rocks and he couldn´t move anymore. Pretty soon we were like 10 hikers that covered him with their jackets to keep him warm, and nearly all of us waited for 3 hours in rain and snowfall with the guy until the firemen came. They didn´t come with a helicopter or something, they just walked up the path with a stretcher, and they were not in best shape and completely exhausted when they arrived. So we all helped together to carry the guy down the steep mountain paths, what took 4 exhausting hours. It was amazing to see the willingness of everyone to help.

The first time I manage a new move in Windsurfing is a amazing moment for me every time. In general getting better at something or learning something new can always be amazing :)

Meeting someone again "by coincidence" (I dont believe in coincidences :)) that you have met in a part of the world thousands of kilometers away is a amazing thing to me everytime..

Its often more the little things, sometimes more than seeing things like Machu Picchu, Iguazu falls or the Pyramids and so on.
