TRAVELLING (ALONE OR WITH FAMILY):

About me: I am interested in nature, historical things, languages, meeting interesting people. I love the sea and waters, mountains, camping, good food and conversations :-)

Me and my family (husband *1988, two grils *2008 and *2014) are vegetarian, unschooling our children and live in Germany, Southern Palatinate area.
We are open minded, like good food, people, music and relax. Also we like to meet for events/parties (those who fit with/for kids), find out about local historical things. We love animals but need some time to get in touch with strange ones.
Our kids are open for other kids, even if there is language barrier, they will find ways to interact and play and make friends :-)
Though we are independet in finding activities for us ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel alone or with my family and want to see many places and meet interesting people and hopefully make some friends on the journeys :-)

When travelling with kids we prefer hosts with kids, at best you are unschooling/home educating them so we can really get to know each other if you'd like too.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment i am really into the books of Bernard Cornwell (Uthred)
I love music like Muse, Mumford & Sons, Coldplay, Thrice, VAST, London Grammar, ...
Movies i am into those which show a deeper meaning and make me think and talk about them and those which are not really clear - even when you whatch them many times. But i also like fun stuff, like In China They Eat Dogs or Series as Scrubs, Buffy and such.
My husband is pretty similar, in Music he is into Techno-genres. We also do watch lots of Documentaries together.
Our kids love music too, books as well :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

AS HOSTS:
We can share our home, contact to our friendly cats, and some knowlegde about the area - especially for exploring tours by bike, Daniel would possibly join and show nice routes/towns/places.

When you travel with kids, ours do understand a little english and are open!

I and my Husband like cooking (veggie) and I'd say we do it well ;-) So we'd love to cook some meals for us all and/or together with you.
We can also give some "lessons/help" in german language if you are interested; we are into unschooling/natural learning and have so many interests, that there will be some topic to talk about ;-)

AS GUESTS: We love good food, but we don't do the "typical german" dishes so much, tho we could do some in veggie styles ;-)
If you are interested in the german language, we could teach some. I am very interested in languages, and always find new similar words or relations between german, english and french words, which could also make it easy for you to keep some in mind :-) Also my children are always interested in languages so that i found some of the easiest words between german and english which are the same meaning in both languages and similar spelled.
