Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted guests in Auckland, Bayreuth and Dresden. I surf from time to time couches when traveling privately. On business trips, I stay some times 1-2 weeks in Eastern Europe (in Hotels), but using Couchsurfing as a great tool to meet locals. A long time ago, in 2006, I have been to the CS community in Nelson, New Zealand. At a couchsurfer gathering in Auckland, I even met Casey Fenton, founder of CS.

Interests

Sustainability - we should stop destroying our base to life and preserve the beauty
Renewable Energies - if energy production problems could be solved, a lot of other problems could be solved if there were an abundancy of energy.
Cycling - the way to move
Cooking - good food can make a very big diffence for the day... Recently, I entered into community supported vegetable growing project, so now I have basically a veggie-flatrate ;-)
Diving - so much fun and beautiful
Traveling - if have seen a lot of places, but indefinitely many interesting places wait to be explored...
