Currently it's Milo and Ina looking for a couch surfing host in Marseille! We are a couple from Berlin who met in Perrine and Ina's shared flat actually! Briefly about Milo: he is always busy geeking about something, let it be doing, programming, building something or creating art...we are often working on art projects together. I added to pictures of Milo into our photo gallery :)

Hey! We are Ina and Perrine: a german and a french girl who met 10 years ago on a high school exchange and who are now best friends living in a shared flat in Berlin, Germany :))

In our teenage years, we met every summer and shared a lot of incredible moments together. We are looking forward to traveling in Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro this summer!

Perrine : I lived for one year in Iasi (Romania) during my studies, but I am originally from Quimper, Bretagne (France). Through living abroad, I got to discover beautiful parts of the world and lots of interesting people, which helped me to understand myself better. At the moment, I am working in a textile studio together with people with disabilities. I want to learn the german sign language and play theater this year.

Ina : I lived for two years in Lille in the North of France before coming to Berlin during Covid time. Right now I am studying Curating and working in an old Stasi prison as a mediator for school kids to teach them about the history of Berlin. My passion is art, especially photography, painting and contemporary dance. I love getting to know other people's perspectives and learn about the history of the places I go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ina: When I was in Napoli, Italy, I made Italian friends who invited me to their family and took me to an island on the Amalfi coast with their fisher boat and to a birthday party where some nonnas and nonnos were playing traditional south Italian music. In Toronto, Canada, a whole friend group adopted me and showed me around their home town for a couple of days.

Perrine: I remember visiting an orthodox Monastry in Iași at the sunset time but it was too late to come back home through the woods so the monks offered me to sleep there and early in the morning i rang the bells with them!
