Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is for me meeting people in a meaningfull way and in the same time I have never had "normal" couchsurfing meetings. Always there happens something that you do not expect. Coachsurfing is meeting, inspiring and helps you and the other further.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted one friendly Indien guy and I surfed with meaningfull understanding by a girl in Hilversum.
During a transition towns training in Antwerpen Anne hosted me for one night in her apartment.
And once an Canadian Guy was shouting before my window: Couchsurfing !!. We had a great time for one and half week. Now I life on the land and it is not so easy to get people visiting. Once one Guy from Switserland visit me on his Bike. He made a tour from Bern to Norway, that was a meaningfull expierence for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I saw a few years ago a movie about the Italian history follow through a family life. This 7 hours during movie is called La Meglio.
Books i like are spiritual books, technical books and sometimes a roman.
I love the expression of African music, the noble sounds of heather nova, Manu Chao for going to the sunny moots. Radiohead for mean-full darkness. The filmmusic of Amelie for the surrealistic views on living. Me last inspiration come from songs from the Plum Village community from Thich Nat Han.
