ABOUT US

We are Katharina and Christoph, both coming from different wine regions in Germany and came to Mannheim to study medicine. We are finished by now but we ended up staying. We have three beautiful little children who definitely keep us entertained (5y, 4y, 2y). We love to spend our free time walking in the park or along the river, having picknicks or dinner with friends and family and we're always up to play some board games. We enjoy the outdoors, gardening, hiking and camping or mountainbiking.

PHILOSOPHY

In the end everything will be ok. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

Free your heart from hatred.
Free your mind from worries.
Live simply.
Give more.
Expect less.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed in various countries and started to host to return what we received :).
We perceive this platform as chance to have unique encounters with new friends and therefore disapprove of impersonal and copy/paste requests. To know that you've read our profile and to save you the spot on our couch please tell us your favorite food ;).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive so far :)
I mean, people are different...so with some couchsurfers you get along just great, with others only good. Self-explanatory.
And please: NO dating intentions and NO c/p requests, at least our names!
