We are Kathrin from Germany and Saúl from Mexico. We are a couple travelling the world. Just to let you know :-) - We really love travelling and exploring the world. We are active, sporty and open persons who like to get to know people from all over the world. For us exploring the world is not about ticking off as many places as possible - it is about experiencing every single place at its fullest. To us this means getting the most authentic insight into life at an unknown place- being part of the local culture, talking to locals and simply soaking up every single unique moment.

In June we have finally decided to realize our life's dream - travelling through South and Central America for about seven months. No sooner said than done: We quitted our jobs, booked our one way flight and started to prepare ourselves for this unique experience. Full of anticipacion we are getting everything ready for our big adventure to start right after New Year's Eve. As you can imagine we are so looking forward to our big dream finally coming true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are part of the couchsurfing community because our concept of travelling fits in perfectly with the concept of couchsurfing - exchanging cultural knowledge, making new friends and sharing lifetime experiences.

We love to meet and get to know locals on our journey because we think that you can make the most out of your stay at an unknown place by getting in touch with locals. Not only to exchange cultural knowledge or to make friends, but also to receive useful information regarding places worth visiting in a city or a country. As travellers we highly apreciate the priceless advantages and experience we are provided by other members of the couchsurfing community who help us to enjoy our stay at an unknown place at its fullest by welcoming us in their house. So we definitely want to allow other travellers to make the same benefits in our hometown by offering a place to stay, getting in touch with local people, proving useful information and simply help to have a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

We love to listen to different kinds of music - depending on situation and mood(beach, bar, disco, radio...)
We prefer movies that are based on a true story and travel documentaries.
To be honest, we prefer being active so reading is not one of our favorite activities. So therefore we do not really have a favorite book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We watched the moonrise over "La Laguna de Bacalar, Mexico". Definitely mindblowing :-)
Kathrin won her first trail run in which we took part together "Trail Nocturno Villa de Juárez 2017"
We decided that it is time to realize our life's dream now - together. Priceless :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in languages, you can take German or English classes with Kathrin and Spanish classes with Saúl. Feel free to ask - definitely a decision you will not regret.
If you are interested in skiing, yoga, running, swimming or workouts, Kathrin can help you to get started or to improve your already existing skills. Once you have started, you do not want to stop anymore, I promise :-).
We are not chefs but we like to cook. If you are curious about German or Mexican cuisine we are happy to show you how to prepare some traditional tasty dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Of course, we would love to share some things with you, lovely welcoming host :-).

On our adventure for a lifetime, we will definitely come across various funny, moving, challenging and thoughtful situations. We also will experience different cultures, lifestyles, countries and places. We will face extremes, contrasts and equalities. So if you are interested, we are more than willing to share our priceless travel stories and memories, which will last for a lifetime, with you.

Since we are active and sporty travellers, we would love to share our passion with you. Maybe you are interested in joining our daily runs (ok sometimes we also take days off ;-)). If you do not feel like running, maybe we can just go fo a walk in the city. Without a doubt we would love to share our attitude called active lifestlye with you.

As you can imagine, as long-term travellers we can not afford going to restaurants too often, which means we will prepare food ourselves most of the time. When it comes to deciding which kind of food we want to prepare, we are really creative (German, Mexican, Italian, maybe a crazy mix, you never know :-)). So if you feel like joing us for dinner, we would love to introduce you to our cooking skills.

You always wanted to know something about Germany, Europe or Mexico? Feel free to ask us while having a coffee or just a nice chat in the kitchen. We would love to share our cultural knowledge with you.

Well, we are more than willing to share all of our inspiring characteristics with you. Friendliness, open-mindedness, activeness, curiosity, positiveness and adventure spirit - just to list a few :-). Welcome us as your guests and - we are sure - you will not be disappointed.
