PHILOSOPHY

"If you spend too much time thinking about it, then you miss it! Things come. Keep looking, meet different people, and exchange ideas. There is no rule."

- Ian Wright

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Last year (2008) I began with couchsurfing. I heard about that from a friend. The first time I host a guy with whom I am still in contact was funny because I host him for four days and 2 weeks later he host me in London. We had a pretty cool time together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At the first time I managed my Couchsurfingtrips via hospitalityClub. Via this platform I met several people.
Since I traveled to the US I used couchsurfing.com. I regognized that it is used more.
Last year I was hopping from couch to couch in Paris, London, Vienna and was hosting 2 people in Berlin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Namibia: A black female worker had very painful stomach crumps, i had to check her and decide what we should do. The next hospital was 400km far away. The street to there was very bad. The next day we drove her to this Hospital in Gobabis. To see how this hospital works was very interesting for me! It showed that I made the correct descision. This woman had to be operated. It was determined that she had an ectopic pregnancy what was in her state of health very appropriate!
