just feel free to ask as we feel free to say sorry due to tight schedules during school time. but on the weekend we might not even be there. it always depends. it's okay to ask on short notice.

We've got a couch in the study and can put a matress on the floor. so parents with two kids is no problem.

we live about 4 kilometers from town center or the train station. you can get there by bus.
I live with my husband and our three lovely vivid kids (*99/*03/*06). we have no pets. we don't smoke, if you want to you can outside. we can show people around, especially families to the best playgrounds, to the zoo or the swimming-pools. Karlsruhe has some interesting museums and the black forest nearby.
We usually go to bed before midnight but with good conversation it can get late.
We can host for 2 or 3 days depending on our kids :)

Personal Description

About me? that's so difficult to say. I like as well parties and dancing as well as quiet landscape, walks on my own and meditation. I love to act, to do different sports. I love to buy books about communication but never read them - to little time as I communicate too much. Sometimes I try to be a good housewife but as days are too short for all the interesting things in life I often skip duties.

I love so many aspects of life, especially my family and on the other hand my family is my hardest challenge.

So if there is time I'm always willing to invite guests for dinner or prepare something for others.
Hopefully my husband is there because he's the better cook.

How I Participate in CS

I share the idea and invite people to stay with us

CouchSurfing Experience

when we were on a late bus in sulawesi and arrived in the middle of the night at our destination a girl convinced her parents to host us. she spoke little English, her family only Indonesian. And although it's long time ago I still appreciate the spontanous hospitality.
I love to get in contact with people.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Our dinner together with the kids was really nice. All of her kids are really special and very friendly. My daughter had a great time with them, and still remember them when she plays with the little cat :)
Meeting a teacher is always nice, as educational topics arise naturally,but meeting a woman travelling with her 3 kids is even more interesting.
I hope we meet again

Jutta is the calm centre of the cute whirlwind of energy of her 3 smart kids. We enjoyed having Jutta and her children to stay. Tino enjoyed having an older brother, Kian, and also got on with Jara, while Lia adored Janis and kept on telling me: "My name's NOT Jara!" See you in Germany! xx

Although Jutta & family had a cs family to host already surprisingly we still could join all six of us despite her maximum of cs to host. Two of our kids could even stay with one of her kids and the other 4 of us slept in their living room. For us it was a nice stop over on our way from home to Luzern friends. Actually it became more then a stop over as we had a very nice evening with home made pizza, nice talks and drinks: a very nice and warm atmosphere in which we felt very welcome. Next day we celebrated Lia's birthday with Dutch 'hagelslag' and 'suikerbrood' and other nice things at breakfast. Because it was so nice and warm hearted we departed much later then planned but it was really worth it and for us a very nice first surfing experience. Thanks a lot for all the care you all did!! Of course we await you to host in our home one time.

We hosted Jutta and her friend Gabi for one night. They were really pleasant guests.
It had extremely interesting discussions. Jutta is open minded, interested, really easy going and nice. It was a pleasure to host her for a night. We really hope to meet her/them again.
Viele liebe Grüsse aus Altdorf und viele überraschende Wahlergebnisse in Baden-Württemberg ;)

It was great to have you at my place. And the wine was sooo good ;-) Hope you had better weather on the rest of your trip (but I doubt it ... ) Take care! Angela

Jutta lives in a beautiful house. For me it felt as if the love and positive energy is reflected in every detail - like the paintings and handicrafts of the kids or the treasured garden. Jutta took lot of time for me and give her eye teeth for me to explain the directions - I fail anyway. Thanks for all and best wishes. Anna

I had a lovely evening with Jutta, her family and the babysitter. Although we did not have much time to talk to each other, I got to learn some German from her children and something about Karlsruhe. I am glad that her children enjoyed my company. I wish you all the best :-)
