CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and explore the world

ABOUT ME

We are a family living in Odense with our cat. The family includes Mona, Jacob, Sofia (12 yrs), Kathrine (9 yrs), Emil (5 yrs) and Anna (2 yrs) as well as one cat and one dog :)

We met studying sports and health in 2004. The past 19 yrs we have spent couch surfing Europe, USA and South America before we created a family.
We love to hang out with friends and have fun, meet all the great people in the world, play boardgames, read, discuss everything, party and do sports. But most of all to do stuff with our children and show them our wonderful world.
Our passion for traveling has taken us so many amazing places in all kinds of ways. We have been kayaking, camping, skiing, on interrail, roadtripping, backpacking, canoing, mountain biking, hiking and riding scooters in the mountains. And we can't wait to do more.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone smiles in the same language:-)
There are no strangers - only friends you haven't met yet!
Say yes to life and what comes with it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We believe this is an awesome project and opportunity for us to meet the great people around the world. After exploring couches and spreading the word around USA and South America for 8 months, we are now back in Odense and hope to see a lot of our friends and new CS'ers on our couch.
