About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Introduce mindfulness in all aspects of family and working life.

ABOUT ME

I am Anna (and Erik), originally from Germany, a midwife and a Mum. I live with my husband Erik, a mechanical engineer, who is half Brazilian, half Dutch and our three kids which are 8 and 6 years old (twins). Currently, our life is busy, busy, busy... Adding to this, I try to be active in the Swiss midwife's association. If I only I had time, I would love to engage in many more projects to make our world a better place!
If you would ask Erik, he would rather want to slow down a bit ;-)

In the meantime a cat has joined the household, so beware if you are allergic to them!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the tiny beautiful things that come across our path everyday!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When ever we find a a moment to host, we like to have visitors filling our lifes with interesting stories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had already many good experiences and it is sooo amazing how we even found hosts for the five of us on our last years 6 day hike!

Interests

Erik loves to built valve amplifiers and loudspeakers. I am currently busy to integrate mindfulness into my life, i love to hike, dance, read, gardenwork….

Our elder daughter is passionate about hores and loves to ride. But basically, she loves all animals.

The twins love playing, running around and will want to show you their latest circus tricks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witnessing the spirituality of an Ethiopian Church service at an ancient rock church.

Teach, Learn, Share

You want to learn anything about pregnancy, birth and early child development from a natural point of view.... I like to share and learn as well.
Anybody interested in valve amplifiers and loudspeakers can spent a whole night talking with Erik.
And we like to learn new languages... can you teach us some Arabic or Amharic for example...? :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

When you host us, we can add a fair dose of "life" to your life and we will love to cook for you!
