Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hello all, my wife and me will be on a cycling trip from Germany to China starting on January 15, 2015. Our journey will cover South Eastern Europe before entering Turkey. Caucasus and Central Asia will be our next destinations.
On our way we would appreciate very much if you offered us some accomodation en route. We both are quite easy going, no specific preferences regarding catering and of course we are non smokers.
After returning back from China to Germany in November 2015 we welcome any traveller taking a break in Lower Saxony/Germany at our home in Hildesheim.

Cheers, Minxin and Flo
