- - - ATTENTION: We can NOT HOST between 1.6.-29.7.2026 - - - Unfortunately since the update we´re unable to neither change our hosting status, nor is there a hosting calendar, nor can we properly respond to requests, given the payment-barrier limit (which limits the amount of messages, including simple replies to incoming ones)... This also means we cannot adequately respond when declining surfing requests. So there is no point in sending us a couch request for that period of time, which we have to automatically decline. If we are not able to host you, we can at least share a "Tip List" for travelers to Moldova, indicating some of the highlights (both touristic, as well as hidden treasures, such as lost places) :) ABOUT ME We are a nomadic family living and working around the world since 2005. Now in Moldova, we previously lived in Kyrgyzstan, Palestine, Mexico, Nepal, Cambodia, South America (Chile, Peru) and Western Africa. Jan: After travelling extensively before and during my studies, I made a job of my passion... Bea: All I wanted to do after finishing high school was to work in the human rights field. So I studied law, focused on human rights and took the first opportunity I had to go abroad to work ... West-Africa (Guinea, Sierra Leone). We were very lucky to meet in Austria, just after returning from South-America/West-Africa and have since continued with our passions together! PHILOSOPHY Don´t intend to "save the world", rather work on changing your environment - small steps are those that make the difference, and many small steps of many others are those that in common will change the world! Get to know the real thing behind the surface, or at least try it.

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
Well, hosting and surfing couches as well as participating in groups :-) Since ever we have been hosting friends and friends of friends and we ourselves have been surfing couches of friends and friends of friends in the world.
Musica, film e libri
Movies: "Into the Wild", "Baraka", "Children of Heaven", "Amores Perros", "Babel", "21 grams", "The lovely bones", etc. etc. etc. Books: Unfortunately I (Jan) am not really reading books, which is a shame, but well. Anyway, lately I read and loved "Perfume"... what a fascinating bizarre story :-> ... Bea: I, on the contrary, looove to read books and can drive Jan crazy when I spend hours reading instead of getting ready :-) Music: Oh, depending much on the mood - but the range is from (Alternative) Rock, Reggae, Ska, Lounge-music, Salsa, to classical music.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Jan: Stayed with villagers in their homes in the most remote places of the Himalayas. Hitchhiked 1800km in Chile in just 2 days. Realized a dream of a bigger cycle tour by cycling from Geneva to Vienna. Bea: Saw incredible happiness in people, who had nothing else but 1,5 m² of space on the floor of a tent in refugee camps in Guinea. The view from Gokyo Ri (Everest region), Nepal, after having climbed up to the pass at over 5600m for maany hours.

I miei interessi
Engaging with local people from countries we visit to better understand them and their country. Otherwise: nature, camping, campfire, hiking mountains, biking, diving, but also crazy (rock)-concerts, festivals, exhibitions, parties and - of course (!) - meeting interesting people.
