Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

currently, i just surf because i don't have a home to myself, but in the states i will offer a couch in st. louis. pick me if you want to visit the city! it's a great place with interesting political and social scene, and i will be a happy tour guide :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i surfed in germany and while the country was BEAUTIFUL, my hosts were the most hospitable people i've met in my life. just being with them made germany my favorite experience in all of europe so far.

(1) if you ever make noodles in germany, use the hand-noodle-maker instead of the automatic press. it is deliciously squishy and completely hilariously fun

(2) have you ever wondered how penicillin works as an antibiotic? it makes holes in a pathogen's cell wall and lets water in, so eventually the cells burst. penicillin's clever-- since human cells have cell membranes instead of cell walls, we're totally safe
