ABOUT ME

We are friendly and openminded people, who love to travel (especially backpacking!). We are very curious not only about foreign countries, but also about the people living there, their culture, their ideas and their live, this is why CS is the perfect platform for us. As we both are doing our PhD we're often a bit busy, but of course guests are always welcome at our place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted several CS-guests during our studies in Konstanz, Germany, and it was always real fun! And at our new place here in Lisbon our first guest was a former CS-guest of that time (was super nice to see her again!). It's great to see how big and how small the world happens to be!

Interests

After the moving we're still were in a kind of transition state speaking about hobbies: we used to play underwater-rugby in Germany, and we also like scuba-diving, rock-climbing, hiking and skiing. And we also used to spend a lot of time with our 12 flatmates (cooking/barbecue, movies, drinking, going out...) And Lisbon, for sure, opens up even more possibilities, which we are still figuering out. Since two years we go surfing amost each weekend and we have learned something about it: it is very hard (but lots of fun!!).

Music, Movies, and Books

We definetely don't have always the same favourite books, music and movies, but there's still a lot of things about which we agree like Lord of the Rings (Movie and Music!!!), Soundtracks in general, french music, "How I met your mother" and crime series like german "Tatort" and british "Midsummer murders" and of course there's a lot more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We swam with dolphins in Egypt at Satayah Reef. Of all the people on the boat we were the only ones to get really close to the Bottlenoses and Spinners :-D

Teach, Learn, Share

People tend to say we cook well and we very much like to cook with others! We also enjoy to learn how to cook foreign food. Our portuguese is, well... let's say decent, bu don't expect us to be real experts in the language! But we're doing a constant effort to improve it. We definitely enjoy sharing traveling stories with others and hear about customs, habits and live in general in other countries!
