CURRENT MISSION

Waiting for troy to get out of Iraq and move to Germany in November before we start traveling.

ABOUT ME

We are a fun loving couple looking to travel the world. Troy (age 30) has recently finished with his obligated military contract and moved to Germany. He plays drums and loves to ride horses, hike and raft. Mareike (age 26) is friendly, always smiling, and open minded. She works at a local night club and attends a school called H2O where she trains to become an event coordinator!

Troy will be in America till late November, so we are looking to make connections with people and take some trips in 2010!

PHILOSOPHY

1. Treat other like you want to be treated. 2. Believe and see the good things of your live, then the bad things won't matter that much anymore !3.No matter how hard that you think you have it, someone else has got it worse, so cheer up and things won't seem so bad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have joined to find friends in other countries who share a desire to travel and explore other cultures. We are not opposed to letting someone stay with us as long as we can get to know you first!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Both of our experiences include only staying with friends in other cities or staying in hostels

Interests

WE LOVE MUSIC!!! We go to concerts as much as possible. If you can't get ahold of us its because we are at one right now.

We also love watching sports but prefer to go to the games. And of-course getting out and doing an assortment of activities: riding bikes, hiking, horse back riding, swimming, roller-blading any cool adventures that we come up with!

P.S. The beach and ocean is always a good time
