Discovering open-minded the world
ABOUT ME
Our names are Urs, Cocó, Lili and Silvan
We are a small family with two children (born 2003 and 2005). My wife comes from Chile and so we are bilingual, Spanish and German.
We are open-minded and we like the contact to other cultures and people very much.
Nuestros nombres son Urs, Cocó, Lilí y Silván.
Somos una pequeña familia con dos niños (nacidos al 2003 y al 2005). Mi mujer viene de Chile y por eso somos bilingües (alemán y castellano).
Tenemos una mentalidad abierta y nos gustaria con mucho gusto tener contacto con otra gente y culturas.
PHILOSOPHY
Be tolerant. Live and let live. Travels are the best school of life.
Somos tolerantes. Vivir y dejar vivir. Viajes son la mejor escuela de la vida.
I found this poem from Wilhelm Busch in a window of travel agency in Filadelfia, Paraguay in german:
eins, zwei, drei im Sauseschritt
läuft die Zeit, wir laufen mit
schaffen, schuften, werden älter
träger, müder und auch kälter
bis auf einmal man erkennt
dass das Leben geht zu End
viel zu spät begreifen viele
die versäumten Lebensziele
Freude, Schönheit und Natur
Gesundheit, Reisen und Kultur
Darum Mensch, sei zeitig weise!
höchste Zeit ist's!
reise, reise!
English:
one, two, three at a rapid step
time runs, we run with it
create, labour, grow older
lazier, more tired and also colder
until all at once we realise
that life is coming to an end
far too late many realise
the missed goals in life
Joy, beauty and nature
health, travel and culture
Therefore, man, be wise in time!
It is high time!
travel, travel!
en español:
uno, dos, tres en un apuro
el tiempo corre, nosotros corremos con él
crear, trabajar, envejecer
más perezoso, más cansado y también más frío
hasta que de repente nos damos cuenta
que la vida está llegando a su fin
demasiado tarde muchos se dan cuenta
los objetivos perdidos en la vida
Alegría, belleza y naturaleza
salud, viajes y cultura
Por lo tanto, hombre, ¡sé sabio a tiempo!
Ya es hora.
¡viaja, viaja!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
If you have a family it's not possible for large trips anymore. So we are glad to invite other travellers to our home.
Por razones de familia los viajes grandes no son mas posibles y por esto queremos invitar a gente a nuestra casa.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have met some very nice and interesting persons and maybe only in CS you have the possibility to meet these persons on a such informal way.
Encontré muchas personas interesantes y puede ser que en CS. es la única manera de encontrar estas personas de una manera tan informal.
Interests
We are interested in Cultures, Lenguages, History, Politics and Discussions.
Tenemos intereses en otras culturas, lenguas, historia, política y discusiones.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music from South America. I like Illapu from Chile and old Rock from the Seventies.
Música andina,canto nuevo, instrumentales, etc
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to read books, only magazines in english, spanish and french to improve the languages. Sometimes I read a Lonely Planet guide book.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I travelled about five years around the world and it was the best experience of my live.
To have some children.
Viajé cinco años por el mundo y eran las mejores experiencias de mi vida.
Tener hijos.
