CURRENT MISSION

settling into Dutch life

ABOUT ME

We're a English/German couple who lived in London until March 2010 then travelled around Eastern Europe until the end of August 2010 and have now moved to Nijmegen in the Netherlands from October 2010 and are keen to continue our couchsurfing experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Amy writing: Hmm, will have to think about this one. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I want to feel that by living (which in itself is a pretty futile thing) I have contributed something. Don't feel that I have yet, but there's still time!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We enjoyed staying with some couchsurfers during our trip in 2010 would like to be able to repay the favour in Nijmegen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through my sister, a veteran couchsurfer of a couple of years. She's had some great experiences and I think it's wonderful that something like this can exist so peacefully and successfully - long may it continue!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Not sure I have yet.
We did climb Waynu Picchu at dawn in Peru a couple of years ago when it was really foggy all around. When we got to the top we sat there for about an hour while the fog lifted to give us the view of Macchu Picchu - an experience that I thought would have been ruined by the number of tourists it sees every year, but that was still magical as we approached it in this different way.

教，学，和分享

We both speak German and English fluently and would be willing to offer help in those.

Amy's trying to learn the guitar and could always do with helpful pointers with that as she gets a bit frustrated with barré chords.
