CURRENT MISSION

Trying to combine traveling and family-work-life

Who we are:

We are four Germans, René and Monique, Alina and Tim - life-lovers, explorers and adventurers (but we know our limits). We love life and TRAVELING as everybody who`s visiting this website.
Our two kids Alina and Tim were born 2015 and 2017 - after we were on an extensive world trip on motorbike and bicycles.

We`d like to show our children the differences and beauty of this world: how different people/families live, how different food can taste and we want them to experience life-time-learning. Whenever possible we`re doing little hikes or cycle rides with the kids during our holidays and spend time camping in nature.

Monique: talkative, outgoing, passionate, loves food, smiles, thunderstorms, hot chocolate and a clear winter day, loves staying on the summit after a long climb

Rene: thinks before he talks but can be talkative, always sees the positve site of life, loves taking photos and discuss technical things, likes a good skiing day in crystal clear air, enjoys cooking

- we are not too much in parties and no big alcohol drinkers
- we have no diet needs

PHILOSOPHY

Live the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are interested in exchanges of different points of view, about your way of life and your travel stories! So please dont`t ask to be hosted for only getting a free bed in town ;)

We plan to get back into hosting people from autumn 2019 onwards - after a longer family-related break.

Monique organized CS meetings in Switzerland

We hosted some outstanding people!

We are also hosting and being guests of www.warmshowers.org (cyclist-hospitality network)

Music, Movies, and Books

We are both keen readers even though we don`t have the time anymore with our two kids.

Music: we do listen to a lot of stuff which is actual on the radio. Heavy music (like metal) is not too much in our shelf - Rene likes some gothic. And we are both very keen on the campfire-guitar-pure-music.

Movies: "Prescilla" and "Red Dog" in Australia, "Into the wild", Till Schweiger movies, "Slumdog Millionaire"
