ABOUT ME

Working (more that) full time. But doing this as a journalist allows me to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Do you know Imanuel Kant?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Taking and giving - taking mostly couches in America - giving couch in Vienna and Munich

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At John's Couch in Seattle :) and Destinee's floor in Vancouver :) and on Nates Potatoe (no kidding) in Chicago :) and many more!

I already hosted friends and friends of friends in places I was living in in Vienna. But I didn't host via the CS yet! I would really love to, Morgantown WV isn't really a very exciting place to travel, though, but if anybody needs a couch there - just contact me.

But in February 2009 I'll be back in Vienna - and I'll give all these great experiences back - promised!
