About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We love the feeling of discovery. Discovery of anything that's new or surprising. That's far or close. That's a man or a place. It can be a far away land or spot nextdoors. Couchsurfing is for us kind of traveling without moving.

ABOUT US

We got married on 3rd Sept 2011 and we have to boys now (born 2012 and 2014). We are open to host singles, couples and families.

As we have kids we are not very party oriented, but we love to chat and cook. We are also open for sightseeing and wandering together on weekends. Monday to Friday we are more limited to evening time, as we are both working full time. That's why we prefer to host on weekends (Fri - Sun)

And we spent our honeymoon in Africa, it was fantastic (everlasting greetings to Paul, who was our host in Kampala).

Here's a short movie from that trip. Watch out watching - includes wild animals! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pvMCXasmFU

PHILOSOPHY

THE SIMPLIEST THINGS TASTE BEST

"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!"
(R.Kipling)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far we were hosts three times and it was a great experience and pleasure. We definetely want more as we believe having guests is like traveling without leaving your place :) Honestly I don't find us as perfect city guides, but you can always count on a long chat, decent home made food and company to share a drink or two :)
