So, I just joined Couchsurfing today, sitting in a Hostel, which I have to leave very soon, but before I want to write a few sentences about myself:

After I’ve stayed half a year in Australia (I was doing an internship there From Okt 2011-April 2012), I came back to Germany to pass my last exams. Then I moved to Frankfurt a. M. where I started to write my diploma thesis for a company in the automotive area. Although the topic of the thesis had nothing to do with automobiles. At this time I was reflecting the economic world system and its destructive forces as much as I was reflecting myself and the perception towards the world. The thesis had the name: “The importance of subjective truth for the management of relationships”.
This thinking led me to my doctoral studies, where I am doing research on altruism and open source – At the moment I am very interested about the movement of Couchsurfing and I am planning to have a closer look onto the network.

While my mind is struggling between economic facts and philosophical dreams, I decided a year ago to leave my apartment in Frankfurt and make my way through. First of all I connected myself into my friend network, I was sleeping on a lot of my friends couches. At the moment I am searching for a little base with a few friends, where I will have a small room and where we can work on projects that are going through our heads: Especially we are thinking of a open source network that connects the general commitment of a person with the concrete need of a person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every person on earth is related to another person over not more than six degrees. It’s a small world we live in. We – who’s that? Does it stand for circles of interest that enhance human beings? The term we is always reaching for an unity, but it still appears blurry compared to the conventional concepts of You and I. Yet, we is becoming more important as we is getting closer. Human beings near each other more and more, we have traveled around, got in touch with unfamiliar cultures and got willing to except unfamiliar life concepts as it has not happened to any period before. Connection between human beings, the exchange of goods, services, ideas, values and information is not a new phenomenon, though. People were exploring the world ever since. But currently we experience an exponential increase in networking. Social Platforms spark throughout the internet, fasten people with knots and inflame many hearts with the desire for a movement that unifies humankind, although a look into the news tells us a different story: Money, greed, the lust of possession, claims for power - all this actions that divide life into parts seem to rule the world, split it into good and bad, while hunger, thirst, homelessness and violence lead countless people into misery. Tough, in the course of a global change in awareness a growing number of people explore their inner world, recognize that it is not congruent to the outer world and find in this divergence the necessity to actualize fundamental values of their inner world. The awakening of those people, who wipe off outdated patterns of comfortable conformity to fulfill the desire for integrity, which brings subjective understanding of values and actual life praxis into harmony, asks a fundamental question: In what kind of world do we want to live in. The answer for this finding will essentially depend on the growth of each movement, the one that divides or the one that unifies human beings.
