CURRENT MISSION

I love to explore the diverse cultures of the world - by hosting and travelling! And I'd love to share my culture with you... and I love cooking. Let me show you what we have for dinner ;-)

ABOUT ME

We - Arne and Kerstin - always like to have a chat with interesting people. We love to meet people from all around the world, it's just so nice to share everyday live which can be the strangest thing for other cultures. I just remember that Brazilian guy who thought of eating some hard black bread with cheese accompanied with a cooked egg as quite odd ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy your life - you only got ONE!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had an unbelievable nice first stay at Tommis and Outis place in Kuopio, Finland and as well as with tons of other great surfers.

Unfortunately we do not get to host as much as we would like to. We really want to give back all the hospitality we experienced all over the world.

Interests

Cooking (real German food like Braten with Rotkohl or Frikadellen, but also lots of pasta, veggies, Asian dishes, and Risotto is one of my favorites right now)
climbing (during summer in the rocks it is so awesome)
theatre
travelling
painting
sailing - in summer it is possible to go sailing on the Maschsee right in the middle of Hannover, learning spanish at the moment, media and society development...
