Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel but in a simple way hoping to meet hosts who can share cultural insights and make the world a more friendly place. In our search to live simply we try and avoid car use. Which means sometimes you just have to stay the night somewhere. We're happy to welcome others to our home who feel the same way.

Interests

We both love to travel, preferably by bike or train. Love to meet new people and speak other languages. We also practice yoga, tai chi and meditation
