first couch surfing experience

I m sitting here now in my bed, i am totally relaxed somehow ^^ . I went to the gym today and spent like 3 hours there. i m sure i wont be able to move when i wake up tomorrow. but it feels good... still i eat so much all the time...argh!! doenner kebab ahoi ^^

afterwards i picked up the greek guy who i am hosting now. we met at alexanderplatz and went to my place then. he really is a funny guy, a bit freaky maybe, but very friendly and humble. we went to 'plus' to buy something to eat and he payed everything!! crazy...he also brought some flowers as a gift and to say thanks because i let him live here. this guy is soooo humble, he does not even start to eat before i do. i can do whatever i want ^^... but rather a guy like that than someone who just doesnt care!
this guy is 27 years old. his parents live in athen but he has no home. the world is his home. he is traveling for a few years now...he lived in japan, the phillipines, germany and many more places. in the phillipines he lived on an island with only 700 inhabitants. they lived from what the natur gave them.
it is always very interesting to talk to people like that because they already made so many experiences and have a very interesting view of the world. he studied economics and business before in greece and now he is working as a journalist sometimes. whereever he goes he finds a job and earns some money. in japan he taught english for example...

whatever, it s nice to have someone here, although we dont talk all the time because i have to study. tomorrow we will leave my place together. i m gonna meet some friends and he will do his stuff (take pictures, write his article...). in the evening we ll meet again. it s quite relaxed. nice experience for me too.
i got some more requests from couch surfing. maybe i am gonna host someone from hong kong next week.
and i want to work again. i need to save up some money!! maybe i can work in june again...that ll be great :)
