About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the countrylife

ABOUT ME

we are a peace-loving family of three, which likes to travel around the world (especially northern europe) and discover new places of beauty. we are very much into arts and music, which results in spending all of our money on concerts, books, photography or art exhibitions (well almost all of it :P)

when we are not travelling, we like to stay at home and have a relaxed evening with friends in our cosy flat listening to music or watching a good film, drinking tea and cooking. generally, we are more laid back people, but, when in the right mood, we can go crazy too :P

Last year (2013) our son was born and we moved from Vienna to the countryside.

PHILOSOPHY

Watch with guttering eyes the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

[Roald Dahl]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We would say it is a good balance between hosting and surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

very well so far... we hosted our couch to several very nice and kind people.
We had some extraordinary experiences on the countryside in switzerland and france in 2010, and also in berlin & amsterdam when we visited couchsurfing friends! In 2011 we visited many of our couchsurfing friends in the UK and spent time with them (for example climbing up Snowdon, camping in Wales or attending Green Man Festival!) It was absolutely amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

all our journeys, we did together - especially our trip to iceland, england and brittany/normandie.

met colin greenwood in the streets of amsterdam during our radiohead concert trip.

camping wild in the woods of sweden and taking the daily bath in the sea.

swimming in a wild atlantic with huuuuuge waves.

watched the sun rising on a beautiful beach in brittany.

finding fossils on chesil beach in lyme regis, england.

3 month of working on organic farms across the UK.

and of course: the greatest experience: the birth of our son!
