We are a family of 5. My husband Pascal and I, Melissa with our kids Yari, Lanu and Anuk. We try to live simple, we are grateful for everything that is around us, prefer to walk barefoot, spend a lot of time outside, enjoying our beautiful seasons and love to laugh and having fun while playing with our kids. We are also interested in other cultures, countries and people which are living there...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First experience was when me and my friend did some couchsurfing in Norway and we are so happy to have done it. You get to know the country and its people and culture in a real way. That makes your travel much more exciting.
So Pascal and I had some more experiences while travelling…

We have hosted only once yet. But want to give back what we could enjoy before. So we are looking forward to meeting new and very interesting people...
