ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Tessa and I'm from Vancouver, Canada, and here with Anja, from Wolfsburg in Germany. We're a married couple who met in Vancouver and are now living in Germany together.

PHILOSOPHY

folks and jokes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several people in Fort St. John, B.C. through my former roomie's account. We couch surfed in Sweden and Denmark in 2012.

Interests

Things we like to do! We love board games and scrabble, card games such as wizard, reading comics and being dorky. We like walks and hikes and cross country skiing. Anja loves music and photography and is a badass vegetarian cook and works as a photojournalist . Tessa loves to write and explore and meet and learn from new people. We're not big partiers or drinkers, and tend to be fairly easy going and spend most of our time making lame jokes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
