CURRENT MISSION

to live is to give

studying for the next 2 years

sqeezing in a short trip here and there

NOTE:

I prefer to host on weekends, but by all means try your luck during the week as well. No garuantee though!

As Berlin is a pretty popular city for couchsurfing, I get between 30-50 requests a day! That's right! I try to respond to everyone, but PLEASE don't take it personal , if I don't. Its easy to lose track.

That should by all means not put you off sending me a request. In fact its the opposite. I haven't met you yet, but I already like you ;)
Doesn't matter whether you got 1000 or 0 references on here.

Just to clarify how I approach the whole thing:

I would love to meet every single one of you, and I try to accomodate as many as possible, but simply can't fit like 50 people in my place.

Hence what I ask of you is , and I would not write this down, if it didn't happen to me before; if I accept you,I am probably equal as happy about to meet you as you are about to meet me .

That means, if I accepted you, I had to turn someone else down. So if under any circumstances, you change your mind, or found another place or simply can't make it on the first day, PLEASE let me know in advance, so I can host and give a chance to another person. Be fair! To yourself, to me and especially to others in this awesome community.
