About Me

Bienvienito

We are Eric and André, two friends from university and globetrotters from Germany. We travel the world and love to discover new and interesting places and people.

While Eric is currently staying in Tirana with his daughter and might host people, André is out travelling in Asia. But we also sometimes just hang together in Tirana and entertain couchsurfers, or we travel the globe together ... whatever life throws our way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For us CS is about the idea that one often has more than enough space at home, which isn't really used however. Not to mention that from 9–6, when at work, it is used even less. So, why not offer all that space to someone that could need it and at the same time have some great interpersonal adventures.

In that sense, if you need a place to simply have a nap, that's fine. If you want to meet and checkout the surrounding, most welcome. If you want share something else: lovely!
