CURRENT MISSION

give birth to happy people

ABOUT ME

We try to leave as many traces as possible in the minds of the people, and as little as possible on our ecological environment. We have a baby girl, so we only party at home, and we enjoy walking through medieval and green Lier and listen to stories from all over the world!

PHILOSOPHY

We are all made of stars.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With a double bed, a little time, a story, a breakfast, and lust for life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wim: My Iranian friend used to invite me for long nights of chat and drink and force me then to sleep in his bed, while he slept on the cold floor (like he used to do in his home-country and was longing for to do again). And I surfed on God's personal couch: the Andalusian beach on a hot summer night.
Christina: cheesy but true - every couchsurfing experience leaves me with the warm feeling that there indeed still IS hope for this planet

Teach, Learn, Share

Wim: I would like to learn how to repare bikes and how to sing and play flamenco. I would like to know how to cook properly. I could teach how to play basic guitar.
Christina: always searching for new cake and cookie recipes and sharing mine. Interested in migration experiences.
