ABOUT ME

I think you should find out yourself. :-) Or check out, what our CS friends said about us.

Here comes a little bit about Claudia and Ralf from ourselves: we are very open-minded people that love to travel the world, get to know people, learn more about different cultures, try new things, learn about different ways of thinking.

We are very curious and we love to learn. In our sparetime we do lots of sport such as Snowboarding, cross-country skiing, Mountainbiking, Ralf plays soccer, Claudia takes kickboxing clases, Badminton, Hiking, Climbing - via ferrata...we love to try new things as well. We both are also very good Poker players :-)

PHILOSOPHY

We want to live our life to its fulliest which means that the main focus should not be on working. :-) The world is full of great adventures and we would love to experience as many as possible of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have just recently found out about Couchsurfing and just had our first CS experiences as Surfers in Brasil.

We have had so many interesting experiences that we still can´t believe how many great experiences couchsurfing made possible. We now spread the word a lot and tell everybody about it...we would love to see the community grow so that the idea of couchsurfing is spread throughout the world and people start thinking about their own way of thinking and sharing.

Interests

We love sports...almost any kind of sport and we like trying out new things. What we like to do a lot and also do on a frequent basis is Snowboarding and Mountainbiking. Since we are little treasure hunters we also like geocaching a lot.
Our new passion is KITESURFING.

We love languages...preferably Spanish...

We also love to watch good movies, listen to music from all over the world and if travelling would be possible without spending any money we would do that our whole life.

And if interested we challenge YOU to have a GUITAR HERO battle with us.
