CURRENT MISSION

On the hunt for the real meaning of life...

ABOUT ME

My name is Bernd, but everyone calls me Ben which is indeed much easier to pronounce and remember, especially for people of foreign language:) At the moment I'm doing my master in "telecommunication engineering" and hope to graduate in ~1year.

PHILOSOPHY

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hopefully mid of 2012 when I'll move to a bigger flat I'm able to host travelers visiting my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got infected with the CS-Virus during my trip through south east asia last year where I had a great time staying and traveling with local peolpe (although not directly via CS). So I'm still pretty new here and have little experience in CS but I hope this will change soon:)
