We met at the HC beach camp in Berlin 2005 for the first time. Or was it 2006? :)

Micha is one of the most hospitable people I know. I think he hosted more people in his beautiful flat in Berlin than all the hostels in his neighbourhood combined. :-P I am glad to be friends with him and his flatmates.

Can't remember where I met him for the first time. But we saw each other at the HC Beach Camp in Berlin 06, once in Hamburg and in Berlin again in summer 06.

I couldn't name a lot of persons better to work and be friend with. Not loud but easygoing, friendly, joyful and always willing to start something new. Hope we meet again soon..

We also met at the Unconference in Antwerp in 2007. Thanks to him and the other family members, our movie action was a great success!

Obviously a good careful and relaxed father. I never saw him in a bad mood that weekend and was happy to see him in the frontline debating about the future of BW. Encouraging!

Micha is one of the nicest and most helpful people I know, always hospitable and up for some fun. Also, as far as I know, pretty involved in this project and actually the one who told me about it. If he's not at home he's probably out there fighting for a good cause.

Felix is pretty easy to get along with. He has a decent sense of humor, is up for almost anything that involves cultural activity and will most certainly become a pationate partner in any conversation that has to do with present philosophy or politics. Just great, to have him around!

We met at the General Assembly of BeWelcome in 2007 and several times after.

He's very motivated when it comes to volunteer work and the ideas of BeWelcome and hospitality exchange in general. I couldn't say I know him like my brother but I trust Jean-Yves and I'm sure he and his family would offer me all the hospitality I could ever expect from a person.

Fuck up with openminded. So next time I will bring you some Naziasholes for couchsurfing and than say me again that you are openminded. But well lupochen is a real open man for nearly everybody from the world. I think now he is a real BERLINER and I could not imagine that he will ever leave the city live. I wish you the best and you can definitly trust him.

We first met in Berlin I believe on a assembly of the greenpeace youth program. After years of common interest and action in environmental issues, we met again and again, on the road, in the city, out in the nature.

Markus has and will always be a great fellow of my life. He's curious and always searching for new things and experiences to discover. He's funny and maybe more spontanious than anyone I know and that's where the fun begins! Don't miss to meet him if you're up for a climbing trip, a walk on the (slack-) line or a night in a cave in the mountains. But Markus has a constant part aswell. I believe you can fully trust Markus.

You can fully trust him. You will have a great time staying in his shared flat and exploring Berlin together with him. Having him as a guest will be a pleasure as well.

He host our Hamburg Invasion for one night

I had with Micha and Merce (and Lena) one of those uncommon magical moments when you meet people and it just clicks. It is probably more due to them than to me because they just make you feel immediately confortable with their company. I know it sounds like a cliché but I did feel as if we'd known eachother for ages and I do hope to see them often in Berlin. Or in Hamburg =)

We only had an evening together but Elsy tried to get the best out of it. I'm often a quiet character but Elsy and the others made me talk a lot that night. It's nice when people show you real interest like she did. Hope to see you anytime again ;)

In Castellar de Santisteban, Spain in October 2008. He hosted us one night at his place.

Repu is fun and somehow up to all. This guy showed us what life is like between the olive trees, between old and older country men and young people that stay anyway. Gladly he just kept walking with us instead of going to his classes ;) We got presents, food and a taste of all that beauty out there in the mountains! Thanks again and please, don´t forget to visit us one day in Berlin!

Although he doesn't like to spend time, filling out profiles (he just doesn't like to write about himself), he takes an outstanding place in my life here in Berlin and in general. If you ever wanted to meet someone special, harmless (oh what a compliment!) and with an empty profile - choose him and you won't regret it! In love, Micha :)

We had a good chat in a bar and talked about "Gott und die Welt" (god an the world). Seriously, I got to know about his serious commitment for BW and heard amazing stories about his travels. Honest, open and ready to take part in something unexpected. Definitely one of the kind that you wanna count on!

Micha and his girlfriend were my guests in Hamburg, we met in Berlin and also traveled together to Belgium, where we spent a weekend with other BeWelcome activists.

Micha is one of these persons gifted with a sympathetic personality, you'll hardly can't resist; it's very easy to laugh in his company. On the other hand you might discuss Kafka and purely theoretical stuff with him. He's never superficial. He cares for ecology and human rights. Absolutely trustworthy. I regard him as a close friend.

So glad to have met him! His efforts really make a difference. One of the characters that you can instantly trust a lot. He'll give you great company for sure!

I spent some days in Berlin, and Micha was the only person from BW that was available in this time. Initially I only wanted to drop in and then move on for the parties, but then I got stuck talking.

Micha is one of the design masterminds in this project (along with Matthias), and he has to suffer all my nasty nagging about little details... (I see this as part of my job) just now, with the new release, there is not much left for nagging - actually it's becoming a great site, and Micha has done a considerable part of this work!

He was really nice for meeting in person and talking. And I like his appartment in Berlin! And he made some tofu fry-lings for me (although I burnt them, if i remember right). Had nice music playing (argh, don't remember which), and nice guests were there at that time. I can only recomment to visit him!

I had met Micha online a few times before meeting him in person at the BeVolunteer General Assembly in Brussels (May 2007).

I was surprised how serious his approach was for modifying the statutes - a topic that most volunteers are not SOO keen on, to say the least ;-) - Travelling home on the same train, we had some time to talk and I could discover more positive about him. Definitely a very pleasant, uncomplicated, relaxed and gentle person that you should get to know. - Ah, he and his girlfriend were my \'almost\' hosts, because our train had been delayed for 1,5 hours, so it was not clear if I could get home. I did get home in the end, but it was nice of them to offer hospitality!
