We are grand parents both of us. Xiao has grand daughter in Hong Kong. I have 2 Danish grand children and 3 New Zealand grand kids.

We love to visit each other and travel together.

We will travel to Beijing in August and to North Korea from 10th to 21st of August. Looking so much forward to that trip.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are looking for couch surfing host in New Zealand in December 2014 and in Fiji in January 2015.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

4 good experiences in Iran April 2011. Hosted for 2 nights with one guy - meeting 3 others for sightseeing, talking, having coffee and diner. A really good experience for me - I hope that my younger CS hosts also have enjoyed meeting me :-)

I had a nice woman from Perth Australia to stay here in Odense 1 or 2 nights.
