Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first couch surfer arrived yesterday (August, 22nd 2008). It was very spontanious and cool.

In the evening we went to a pub in central Cologne and stayed there for a couple of hours. Some friends of mine went with us and it was a very funny and enjoyable evening.

I'm looking forward to some more of those evenings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, while I had been to Greece, we went to a small town which was just amazing. It was not just the town but the ice that was covering just everything. Big layers girded every fence, every sign, every bench, the ground.. The ice was so thick and looked like waves covered by another wave, covered by another wave.. It was beautiful!
