Hello, we are a family of four from Berlin, Germany, a data scientist (Kasia) and a software developer (Bartek), both in our forties, with two children: Kora, 11, and Emil, 12 years old.
We used to exchange a lot on Couchsurfing in the past, before we had kids, mostly as hosts, but also as guests, and now we are back in the game.
Due to the school age of our children, the availability of our apartment for simultaneous and non-simultaneous exchanges is limited to the school- and public holidays in Berlin.
We can also exchange simultaneously on weekends.
We are open to any destination with a slight preference for places where we can get (and get around) without a car. We would also gladly visit locations less or not at all popular among tourists.
So if you fancy a stay in a big and comfortable apartment in a very safe area in Berlin, Germany, feel free to contact us and let's talk.
We also accept Globes!
