So I wrote a book about Couchsurfing

I wrote the whole book about CouchSurfing being a part of my life during the last 7 years (2015-2022).

A bit of my story here: M26, living in Berlin since 4 years, originally from Russia. Got into CouchSurfing when I was in the States via Work&Travel and kept surfing&hosting thereafter until recently.

It's a very well written book, covering all battles, "theaters of war" and the eventual implications. I believe in author's subjectivity, which is very hard to find among WW2-specialized historians.

Misha Chinkov and 1 other person liked Robin's review of Berlin Alexanderplatz:
Berlin Alexanderplatz by Alfred Döblin
"Found this fairly dull and didn't care about the characters at all. Probably just kept going because it was good for my German. Struggled with some of the dialect and Berlin slang, but also learnt quite a few words. It was cool to visualize the area " Read more of this review »
