Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When we moved to Leipzig we were working a lot away from home so it was hard to host. We hosted once via couchsurfing all the other surfers we hosted were friends we met from all over the world. E.G. states, Israel, Guatemala, Honduras, Netherlands, Portugal) Our door is always open to everyone we meet along the way!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couchsurfing once in guatemala. the guy who hosted the 3 of us was really friendly, we coocked and left him diner for the next day. it was a good experience :D

In finland i surfed with a Russian girl i brought her dutch delicious stroopwafels (coockies) and she had diner ready when i arrived (super sweet).

I couch surfed with my sister in Madrid, Spain. The host was very friendly, we had permaculture in common and we shared our passion. He trusted us so much that when he had to leave Madrid for the weekend he left us the key and we could stay a day longer. I would love to visit again and see how his project is doing

Interests

I love traveling to new places and meet people from a different culture. I love learning languages, or listen to them when I don’t understand a word.
I am in love with Nature and Animals in general.
I did a permaculture course in Spain, and I would love to experience and learn more about it. I love to go on adventure, outdoor activities, sports etc.
There are sooo many places in the world i would love to see and so many interesting people to meet that traveling is a fulltime job! ;)
