CURRENT MISSION

Survive winter in Berlin...

ABOUT ME

We're a chilean-german couple doing our master's degrees in Berlin. We love travelling and went together to different parts in Europe and South America, where we lived in Santiago de Chile. We love hosting people as well and since we have been living in Berlin visits of friends and family haven't stopped. We are open minded persons with a slightly black humour, we love long conversations and getting to know people that share our curiosity for other people's histories and views of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about finding the right mixture between happiness and discontent...we always try to enjoy things, particularly the simple ones of everyday life, but we never give up a critical view to the strange world we live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We would like to host people and get to know couchsurfers in other coutries when we're travelling ourselves. As we are studying and working at the same time it may occur sometimes that we are too occupied to host people, so it would be great if you could ask for our couch some days in advance. We can show you around in Berlin as well or just go for a beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We surfed on foreign couches in Argentina, Peru and Germany but now we decided to create a new account here together and close the old ones.

Interests

Things we love are cooking and eating, walking for hours through Berlin and other cities of the world (we're kind of old school 'flaneurs'), we' very interested in cinema, literature and theater. We both do fencing.
