We (Birgit, Mariss Lucian *2022, and me) are a small family that enjoys travelling without a car, as much as possible.

We love honesty. A long-term quest !

Some basic values we try to embrace: respect, care but not intrusive, listening to desires and needs (particilarly with our son), trying to live with open hearts.
We like simple, sincere and deep sharing as well as privacy and discretion.

Important : COMMUNICATION !
We try to be as reliable as possible, but of course, unexpected things can happen, especially with a young child.

For now, we don't have the possibility to host, this might change in the future.

Mariss loves:
- to ask about the world (can tea go bad ? When does the world die ? How big are baby whales ? ...)
- running/jumping/rolling/climbing/riding his scooter...
- singing/humming while eating
- talking to grown-ups
... And dancing!

Birgit is a teacher for English, Ethics, and Latin. Her heartfelt project is to bring more awareness of sustainability into the world and especially into families.
And dancing!

JG's main activity is classical music: piano, composition, teaching, accompanying and leading choirs.
Curious and enthousiastic about discovering many things, love to laugh, to talk, rarely saying no to playing (almost whatever the game is).
And dancing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living in an intergenerational housing project, we would also like to experience a more "connected" way of traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Croatia on an overnight train in a coach for 6 people with 4 grown-ups and 3 children under 5. Without beds.
A veeeery early morning hike with boars all around.
Without kid.
Going to Greece in order to dance and forget about relationships and meeting our life partners.
Without sleep.

Teach, Learn, Share

Of course, French and German language practice.
Feel free to ask for any musical advice, happy to search but no answers guaranteed.
Funny balloon and role playing with Mariss.

Sharing about experiences of any kind, playing (music ?) together, learning from each other, going out for a walk (playground?) or something we all like, pumpkin soup (Mariss' specialty), more vegetarian food...
