Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By promoting CS to people who I think might benefit from or be of benefit to this community

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been a member for over 2 years and never used CS until recently, when I met some great people in Feldkirch, Austria. So far the experience has been extremely positive!:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen
A friend of mine handing all (ALL, I'm dead serious) of his belongings and personal items to charity and complete strangers because he wanted to get free of the feeling that things owned him and not the other way around...
Done
Me, I galloped on a horse around the famous pyramids in Kairo, Egypt in flip-flops & without any prior horse-riding experiences...

Teach, Learn, Share

They know much more than I do
TED.com
I know something about
using as little as possible to make as much as possible, sustainable construction and living, web 2.0 and net tweaks, current and future worldwide trendsetting in most areas, movies and cool music, not vomiting after too much alcohol, making a wicked potato salad, repairing stuff and hand craftsmanship, origami
I want to know how to
do Parkour, play the harmonica, effectively convince people about an idea (I'm not too shabby but I've seen some mind-blowing stuff from others), become a footbag pro, seduce Eva Mendes, find the perfect wallet, effortlessly fall asleep when traveling, avoid having to turn socks the right way, burp, wake up with a smile each and every morning
