CURRENT MISSION

travelling around the world with my family

ABOUT ME

We are a travelling family. Two adults, one 4 year old girl and a baby. At the moment we are fullfilling a dream and travel together for five month. Is it possible to do couchsurfing as a family? We would like to find out.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to concentrate on the most important things in life. Be happy with what you have got.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love to find out whether we can do couchsurfing as a family and - once again back in Germany - are happy to host guest, and of course families are welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. We would love to change that during our 5 month trip around the world.

Interests

I (Alex) am a journalist. I write travel stories and other things. So of course we travel a lot.
The kids of course love to meet other kids. We hope that they become interested in other cultures and languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

I could fill pages on that theme. I studied German and Spanish literature so certainly I love books. Apart from many German authors for instance from: Haruki Murakami, Banana Yoshimoto, Jasper Fforde, Matt Ruff, and many others.

Music: My husband and I love Rock, Grunge, Alternative Music.

The kids love children music (and books).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Favourite travel countries so far: Venezuela and Iceland.
Funniest journey (concerning people we met): Kenya
Best food: Italy, Thailand and India

But we keep on travelling so these things may change.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach German. The kids could teach other kids German games. We can cook German dishes.
