About Me

We host only Non-Smokers!

ABOUT ME

We are living in Fulda since 2012. We have two boys (6 and 3 y.o). We both graduated medical school. We are trying to combine everyday work, family, friends and free time. Sometimes it actually works! :)

In 2014 we crossed the Alps on foot. 3 great weeks of adventure and amazing landscapes. Everything was topped by a backpacker trip to Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Sunbathing, deep water soloing in Croatia, great couchsurfing. Afterthat we traveled in South America for about 10 Months. We started in Peru and Bolivia the first months, then on to Chile, we did about 8 weeks of volunteering (www.helpx.net) in the Wine Valley of Chile. Went hitchhiking from Santiago de Chile south to Patagonia and through Argentina back to Santiago. From there with a VW bus down south again, to Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay and Uruguay. We visited very nice remote places like Piedra parada in Argentina to do some climbing as well and also touristic places like Iguazu Falls.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy, relax, take things as they come :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Victor met couchsurfers for the first time in Syria and Jordan and CS community was great there! Sam from Damascus was especially helpful.
Since then, we had only one couchsurfer in Romania while living there, and in the last years, well a lot of amazing, interesting people who were just travelling by, looking for work/jobs, holyday or business meetings :)
Couchsurfing all over S America gave us an amazing insight on the lives of locals.
