Hey Couchsurfing,

my Name is Thomas, 29 years and I live in the most beautiful city on earth: Munich. I work and travel a lot so i can´t host all the time, but just try.

I live in Munich for 10 years now and love to host people here. Since i opened a profile 2011 I used Couchsurfing so many times (both as a host and as a guest) and I had only positive experiences. I am a huge fan of couchsurfing and the spirit of it. I am happy to say that i truly found my dream job. I am a Flight Attendant for a german Airline, based here in Munich. I fly short and long range flights and absolutely love it. But that also means I am rarely in Munich and hosting is quite difficult, because you never know whats happening to your schedule.

I am gay, but this shouldn´t bother you. I don´t use Couchsurfing as a dating app.

If i have time love to show you around and show you the places you REALLY have to see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Movies are a big part of my life, either watching them or filming myself (I used to work in the film industry many years)

But also meeting new people, having a good time, drinking a long island ice tea, going to a club, dancing all night, travelling around, unplanned adventures or just having friends around

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

tl,dr: With the help of many many couchsurfers I brought a big smile on a face of a very lonely person on Christmas.

So here is the story:
As a kid my mom (she´s a nurse) always told me from one of her patients, who has the "Locked-In-Syndrom", means: she cant move anything on her body anymore, except of her eyes. Thats a really rare disease (i think winning the lottery is even more usual...) and it can happen to everybody in every second, without any signs in advance. I know that she used to travel the world, like i do now, and loved it. Since her disease, she (obviously) can´t travel anymore and collects postcards.

I met her the first time when i was 19 and i was so touched by her story (she has no living relatives anymore, alltough she is only 60) that i wanted to give her a day she won´t remeber. So i asked a good friend, who travels around the world for 4 years now, to send me postcards from whereever he is right now, to my adresse but with a message to her. So i collected them and wanted to give them to her on christmas, a day, nobody should be alone at. Well i talked to a few other people and so did my friend and their friends, we spread the story quite well, cause...

... i went to her on christmas with a bag filled with 600 postcards from all over the world, i even got a few from a school-class from america and the antarctica research station.

She said, that was the most beautiful day of her life, thanks to the spirit of all the couchsurfers around the world! I still have tears in my eyes when i see the picture of her in my mind covered in all that postcards. Sometimes there are small sparkles of light in this dark world.
