PHILOSOPHY

live the life you love, love the life you live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If we travel we love to meet local people so we can hear where the nice spots are and get to know them! We love to see the city through local eyes!

We started our couchsurfing experience in Morocco and really loved it. After that we can only ask ourselfes ' why wouldn't we couchsurf in a next travel?'

In our last appartment we hadn't that much space so we didn't have the opportunity to host people. Now we have our own little house and we would like to meet people on their travel in our own city and host people in our home! If you also like couchsurfing because of the real couchsurfing idea (meeting local people in a nice city) - than you're very welcome!! During the day we could give you some advices about where to go but in the evening we really hope we can eat and drink something together!
