Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You only learn to know a city or a country for real, if you meet and talk to (the local) people. I want to get a feeling how it is like to live in all different parts of the world. And I like to share my views with my guests and listen to their stories.

Sharing is caring.

I hosted more than is logged here because bands slept at my place or i hosted friends of people i know on FB.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in New Zealand in 2010 I visited a 40-year intentional community. Before that visit I didn't think that these intentional communities as I have imagined them were real and that it could work over 40 years. It was great listening to the stories of the now 60- and 70-year old people who lived for such a long time together, nearly only eating what they planted with their own hands. It was a very isolated "world", but it also was isolated from the stress of everyday's work etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach:
- vegan cooking
- mh... perhaps maths, but that doesn't sound to fun for most people.
- the game of Go
- some basic frisbee throws

What i want to learn:
- mh, i always want to do more music
- new food :)

What we could share:
- we could cook together
- enjoy food and drinks
- listen together to music
- bike/hike trips
- walk around
- visit punk shows
