CURRENT MISSION

Greyhound Discovery Mess :-)

ABOUT ME

Oh its soooo complicated to write something down here. We tried it several times now but we were never pleased by the result :-) One time it was way to superficial another time way to crazy :-)

We guess the most important fact is: We love to travel especially together. Everywhere we go and everything we do always was and is and will be aLOT of fun. Wether it is "just" a sleep-over at Robina's place including watching dvd's and philosophizing over everything and anything, a weekend clubbing trip to Munich or travelling through southern Europe via train for 3 weeks.

We've been good friends now for six years and we can't explain but we just match perfectly ALL the time. Sharing, giving, receiving - perfect boring harmony. we used to try really hard to argue but we gave up after a while.

We know seperated profiles are preferred but we are not sure if that's necessary in our case :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Always remember: You can't give your life more days but you can give your days more life.
Laugh, when it's not enough to cry over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We inform everybody we meet about our excitement concerning CS and there mission "possible" :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our first Couchsurfing experience: New York!!!
Probably a bad idea because the entire world is looking for a couch in New York. But we made it and it was absolutely amazing, nearly life-changing :-)

Interests

Again: We really love to travel. We love to learn about other people, their culture, their language, their home country, their travels, things they can teach, show and tell us.
Our special interests are (e.g.)

Robina: all about French. French language, French people, British English, big cities and empty country sides, art, culture, music, dancing, talking, singing, reading ...

Elisa: English language, movies and series in the original language, language, theatre, theatre, acting, music, saxophone, playing the guitar, singing, (watching) soccer, going to the movies, the sea, my studies ...
