Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We like to offer people accommodation, who are on tour, vacation or whatever trip and hope we can receive the same in return!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We couchsurfed in Buenos Aires and Prague and had a great experience with Jan there.

We hosted Aram, who has been looking around in Germany to have a look at places to emigrate to.

Interests

Christina is up to singing in a choir, I love to play trumpet (Big Band) and several other instruments. On our trip to south america I started playing guitar and I am really loving it. So music is always a interest.
We enjoy sports together. Starting with running over to dancing and most of all we love to go out into the mountains, hiking and trekking.
Since we bought a mirror reflex camera we enjoy taking photos and decorate our flat with them.
And of course traveling the world once in a while. To see land and people!
