About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We enjoy meeting with people from different cultures and societies, we are a German and American couple.

ABOUT ME

I like to cook, travel (especially by train), visit museums, watch films, attend concerts, walk, play tennis, and meet people

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy bringing people together (I host an English and Spanish monthly getogther) and host a dinner 4 times a year. We only have one planet and we have to work hard and sacrifice to maintain it or we will lose it.
