Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer up to 2 sleeping possibilities

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It started at the age of 14 !! when I hitchhiked alone to the south of France (1000 miles) to see the sea .... in 1974, this was still possible ... met a lot of nice people ... I even got a couch at the foreign legion. Did not understood to much French but I survived and found the way back home. This started my career as a traveler but with CouchSurfing I just started ....

Interests

meeting new people from other counties and cultures

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where should I start ... there would be so much to say ... jumped ones on journey to Scandinavia out of a fast driving train ... just to pick up some cloth I forgot at the campground .... almost cost me my life ....

Teach, Learn, Share

well ... my skills must be in repairing old and broken things ... at least all my friend are bringing there broken stuff to me to repair it ... but my real skill is to teach everything about older surveying instruments (Swiss made) such as Theodolites, Levels but also Microscopes .... take a look at my "Virtual Archive of WILD Heerbrugg" >> www.wild-heerbrugg.com
