About Me

We are a married couple: Michalis (Greek) and Pernille (Danish). We love travelling and learning about different cultures. Offering a couch or traveling through couchsurfing seems like a great way to do that.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, learn about the world, see different places and meet people with different views of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We think that it will be fun to host people from other countries and hear about life on their side of the world.
Also, when we travel it will be fun to know that we have some friends in other countries that we can drop by and say hi to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have met some wonderful and very interesting people.

Interests

Teach, Learn, Share

People are not really divided by borders or according to their place of birth and origin.
People are divided into three major categories:
Good people, bad people and stupid people.
Couchsurfing proves that the majority of people are good.
Good people like to use couchsurfing, bad people can't stand it and stupid people just don't get it!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Russian Federation, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States
