Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I couchsurfed a bit in Germany, I still consider myself a beginner in this project. I am open to new culture and newer people and ready to meet wonderful people across various parts of the world with unimaginable similarities despite the astounding differences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveled: Nuremberg June 2010:with Lina from Germany
Neuschwanstein Castle July 2010: with Lina again
Rothenburg and Wuerzburg: With Dmitri from Canada
Surfed: Bamberg June 2010: Rebekka's couch
Munich June 2010: Leonhard's couch

Looking to be active again
