As our honeymoon, Lisa and I are going to travel through Japan, New Zealand and South America for 3,5 months. In our "normal" lives we work as a doctor (Ricki) in the university hospital of Freiburg (southern Germany) and as a PR agent for literature and publishing houses (Lisa). We live in a big flat with 7 people, who are not only flat mates but feel like family. We like to meet new people and see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because travelling is not about the places you see, but the people you meet.

Interests

We want to broaden our horizon by getting to know new countries, new people and their stories. We are not big party fans, we prefer to spend our time in a relaxed way with nice conversations or playing games.
