About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Open our door when you're pushing the door bell :)

ABOUT ME

Well...HI for starters :)

Sarah and I have been avid CS'ers for the past couple of years with an ever growing affection to this great and fantastic world of meeting new people with immense energy, compassion and positive attitude toward everyday adventures!

Since our first surfers arrived, we've been hooked when hosting, hooked when surfing couches, experienced and shared a big dozen of crazy stuff with fellow CS'ers from all around the block. It's been a ride like no other for sure!

Aaand...this didn't really tell you anything "personal" about us, so here comes the really juicy, secret stuff:
Mads://: Likes dark chocolate, to ride his bike, to wonder and ponder about this and that, to sit in a comfy chair with a cup of tea/coffee while reading a good book, engage himself in the universe of so called "art films", spend the last 20sec in the shower in cold water (yikes), ride trains in the night, remind himself to do "irrational" things from time to time, to spice things up a bit, visit remote and popular destinations, smile at strangers, jump all around the world.

Sarah::/:: Trying to become master of the universe of crocheting & knitting(!), pet cats and dogs, make killer smoothies, rational, easybeing attitude, loves comfy-mode.

And now...life is slowing down for a bit! In Dec. 2011 Sarah gave birth to a cute baby girl, Ronja. We've moved cities and we've settled for a more quiet, comforting life, with no room for people, let alone strangers we don't know...no wait, not true:P We hope we'll be able to raise this little kid to be a cool globetrotter with an open mind and a healthy spirit!

For now though, we're trying to upgrade Ronja from version 3.0 to 4.0 (includes the ability to sit still when eating, stop painting the floor with crayons and start making coffee for dad on sundays).
++ In oct. 2014 Sarah gave birth to Bastian; our newest introduction to this world!

South Fun got lots of neat things to offer, so hope to see you around:D
**Bonus** It's bike friendly area for those with an iron horse at their side!

Cheers!
