About Me

We are a young couple that enjoys learning about new cultures and countries. And we love and enjoy the beauty of nature in every respect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We realized that after a few trips, what often stuck most in our head were our encounters with locals. This is where you can pass the threshold of simply being a tourist with a look from outside. We started hosting, too, and got to know very interesting people in our home in Zurich! Now we live close to Bern (25 minutes away by train).

Interests

In our free time we enjoy vegan cooking and baking, reading, spending time with our 4 rescue chickens, gardening, hiking, thrift shopping, playing the piano, guitar and Schwyzerörgeli (a kind of accordion), biking, badminton, laughing and board games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From Sept 21 to Aug 22, we went on an unforgettable world trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anja is an expert in photo- and videography, and Jan sure knows a lot about languages, sports, and history. We like learning about (vegan) meals from other cultures and practicing our languages with you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We had the opportunity to couchsurf in different countries from Bolivia to Kazakhstan and all of the encounters were wonderful. So we want to give back something! A free air bed in expensive Switzerland, close to the Swiss mountains :-)

And we want to meet you! We especially welcome couples, vegans, Brazilians and Russian-speaking people (as these are the languages we're currently learning).
