we are two sisters from the south/ Alps of Germany currently living in Freiburg. In one month we are going to start a cycling trip from Freiburg to Portugal.
Sarah studied primary school teaching and Katha studied environmental engineering. At the moment Katha is working in a little company that installs solar panels. Sarah is working as a school "campanion" for a boy with autism.

Just to name a few interests:
we both like being to new places, being with new people, talking, sharing opinions, experiences, world views, drinking beer or wine (but nothing that determines our everyday life :D ), seeing the beauty of the nature, smiling people and outdoor sports. Especially since last year yoga became a new daily routine for both of us and Sarah really enjoys road cycling all around Freiburg. Katha likes doing art, such as drawing or pottery. She also created a beautiful garden with a lot of vegetables and flowers on her balcony last year.

And we don't like watching television. ;)

We always look for alternative travelling (hitch hiking, cycling, Interrail, couchsurfing) because we want to get in touch with new people and we do not need to have a fixed plan, but are happy to accept spontaneous ideas and tips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for authentic locals during traveling/working abroad,

We are looking forward to making new acquaintances, having good conversations, getting involved in new ways of living and getting to know new places with the help of locals

Interests

being open minded, traveling, being wild, photography, go where it feels right, listen to your gut feeling

Music, Movies, and Books

music:
We both like Xavier Rudd, Ben Howard, Ziggy Alberts, Charlie Cunningham, reggae, we , first of all Katha also enjoy 80's and 90's

books:
novels with true background/ critical opinions/ sociocritical content/ alternative ways of living
travel reports (lately the Hoepner twins are our inspiration :D)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

cycle to Paris with our family,
hitch hiking in Norway
living in South Africa

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share our skills in Yoga, also acro- Yoga, vegetarian/ vegan cooking, technique stuff like repairing bikes (we can still learn a lot in this area, too), talk about nature, climbing, building cozy stayings with hammoks in the woods

improving music skills (guitar, ukulele, kalimba), learning new languages, learning new skills in general :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

we can share our skills in vegetarian/ vegan cooking, help with any work at home or outside, because we both really enjoy manual work (gardening, sewing (Sarah), knitting (Katha), painting, creating...). Katha knows all about solar energy and how to install solar panels :D We can also support you/ your family in school work as Sarah worked in very different schools and with different children for the last 7 years and Katha works as a tutor in the moment and also worked with children in the past.
