Just started hosting in our new home in Berlin-Tegel!

Hey there, it's Leah and Sönke!
We finished our studies, quit our jobs and went to fulfil our long-cherished dream of travelling around the world!

Now we live in Berlin and look forward to exploring the city together with couchsurfers.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

A few authors that I highly enjoyed reading:
- Eric Weiner (especially "Geography of Bliss") - my favourite author, funny and thoughtful
- Malcom Gladwell - just recently started his books, easy reading and new perspectives
- Oliver Burkeman (especially "4000 weeks") - potential to turn your view on life upside-down
- Rutger Bregman - oh man, what an inspiration
- Jack London - love his adventures from the great north
- Gideon Defoe - just super funny

A few more books:
- The lonely century by Noreena Hertz - a must read
- The day the world stopped shopping by J.B. MacKinnon - a holistic view on consumerism, no finger pointing, just very good perspectives to learn from
- The power of strangers by Joe Keohane - this inspired me to look up from my phone and start chatting with strangers
- Work: A history of how we spend our time by James Suzman - well just skip all the chapters until the last one, I could relate a lot on his views

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Teach: Even though I am not an excellent cook, I love to share some recipes and be creative in the kitchen.

Learn: I live to laugh, cry, talk, drink, eat and have fun with open-minded people! I have respect for other cultures.

Share: I think my teaching point should actually go here

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Leah and I, we are very flexible. We have our sleeping bags, mattress and even a tent, so we can even stay in the garden if needed.

We understand that everyone has a life and that it is our duty to leave the house in a better state than before.

We would love to do something with our hosts but we also always have some things to see independently.

We are good listeners and want to listen to your life story. Everyone has a story to tell.
