CURRENT MISSION

trying to perceive (somebody or something)in all senses (before judging)

ABOUT ME

well, not easy to describe myself... i guess i am an open minded person, sometimes quite serious and introverted, sometimes rather humorous and extroverted... but that does not tell a lot about me. ... i am not a fan of presenting myself (in the internet) but prefer to communicate with people "in real life".

PHILOSOPHY

Sabine: Everything happens because we have to learn something from it. Everything takes us further even if it sometimes feels like a step backwards.
Lydia: trying to stay relaxed when things don't work.
being respectful with people and nature.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interessi

Lydia: every-day-life here and elsewhere. human relations. travelling. literature. some sports (above all swimming in the sea or in lakes)
Sabine: nature and lakes! Water is my element. I share a garden with friends and love to work hard for only a few potatoes! And I started taking horse riding lessons last year. It´s just great!
