About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Planning a trip to the US.

ABOUT ME

We're a happy couple living in Aachen. Martin works as a medical engineer and Ute is a research assistant at Aachen's university. We enjoy living in this city very much which literally lies in the heart of Europe. Not only the lovely natural reserve "Eifel" offers thrilling trips during weekends, but also the most thriving European cities like Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, or London are just around the corner. As we enjoy travelling a lot, you can say we're already in paradise over here. Nevertheless, we keep on exploring the rest of the world with growing curiosity.

PHILOSOPHY

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ute has travelled around Canada on many couches. Together we stayed for one night at Eloisa and Tiago's home in Lagos, Portgual and with Julie & Eric in St Denis, La Réunion. We also hosted Aran from the Netherlands once.

Interests

We like travelling a lot. But while at home we enjoy music as we're both passionate guitar players.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Each country we travelled left us with so many awesome impressions that it's hard to pick one in particular.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: We can teach you some classical guitar, Afro-Cuban percussion music on congas and Brazilian samba music on tamborim.
Learn: We love to learn anything from anybody.
