CURRENT MISSION

From Istanbul to India

ABOUT ME

Sometimes he just cannot leave his teacher profession in school but despite that Frederik is a really nice guy (and I don't only say that because he's my friend). He is polite, caring and open minded. He loves chatting all the time with all the people around him. What I like the most: He is really a relaxing person and down-to-earth.

Kristina is writing about the Middle East and loves stories about people, their living and loving, their worries and hopes. If she's not working she can hardly stop being curious but – in most of the cases – she knows when to better stop asking and just hang out (in the few cases she doesn't, Frederik tells her).

Kristina and Frederik love to get to know new people, different lifestyles and are interested in cultural backgrounds. They both love listening to quirky stories life told someone – and they also have some stories to tell.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take yourself too serious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We want to travel from Istanbul to the south of India in the next months together. Because we don't want to visit about 35 tapestry makers and we are more interested to get to know the life of the people living in the countries we cross we are looking for your couches on our way. We'd love to hang out with nice people everywhere and hope you can show us your Turkey, Iran and India.
