We are a Dutch-German couple living in Münster, Germany. Marcel, my boyfriend, studies to be a teacher for chemistry and music in Dortmund. I studied European law and German in Amsterdam and currently I'm doing my masters in Dutch-German translation in Münster. We met at a camping side in Zeeland (the Netherlands) when we were 8 years old and we saw each other every year, but we only came together when we were 20 years old. For the last 4 years we visited each other every weekend, traveling between Amsterdam and Dortmund and since August 2017 we moved together to Münster.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

In Germany, students have 3 months off between semesters. Marcel always had these 3 months free time, but I, as a Dutch student, never did. This will be the first year, we will both have these 3 months off and therefore we want to spend them traveling together to see new countries, to get to know new people and to make new adventures. Also we like being around people and we love to meet people from other countries and cultures, who can tell us about their cities.

Besides, since we now live together, we also have an opportunity to offer the favour in return and let people stay at our place.

兴趣

We love to travel. Over the last few years we visited Spain, France, Romania and of course The Netherlands and Germany together and this year we made our first big trip together as we traveled through Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland and Italy by train. We absolutely loved it and made some great experiences with couchsurfing!

One of my biggest interest is cooking. In the beginning Marcel did not really like cooking, but over the last years I have been able to teach him to appreciate it too (now mostly he even does the cooking instead of me). One of his biggest interests, is windsurfing, which in his place, he tried to make me appreciate. Sometimes he can convince me to go windsurfing with him, but most of the time I just think it is too cold.

音乐、电影和书籍

Marcel, as a music-student, loves classical music, but actually he likes every kind of music, as he also listens to the music I like. I mostly listen to singer-songwriters.

One movie we both really liked, is a movie we saw on one of our first dates: Her.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Last year in the winter we went to Romania to visit my family. Besides some city tours to Brasov and Bucharest, we went skiing in Poiana. One day we arrived in Poiana and it was so crowded, we were not able to rent any material. Since we had already made the bus ride, we decided to hike up the mountain instead. What we did not realize, was that the mountain is almost 2000 m high and the snow came up to our knees. About 20 minutes after we started walking, a dog ran up to us, which looking back probably was a rescue dog. He walked with us the whole way and after a 4 hour walk, finally arriving at the top of the mountain, he disappeared. We looked everywhere but we could not find him anymore. One year later, we still doubt ourselves whether he exists at all, or whether we just imagined him, but it was a great adventure and the view on top of the mountain was beautiful.

Also we made a big interrail trip through Europe this year and saw some great countries and cities in which we met amazing people!
