Description
Hi. We're Krishan (30) and Nicole (34), living between Gießen and Marburg in Germany. We have a daughter (1) and two female cats (Chili and Lilith). The house we're living in, has two apartments. One in the first floor where we live, and one on the second floor where our good friends live - they also have a baby. Yes, it's like a house-sharing-community and we love it! Krishan is a self-employed web-developer, loves reading, going for a run and playing his bass-guitar. Nicole is currently in parental leave. Before she worked as a climate protection manager in another town (30km away from hometown) and plans to return to her job in March 2024. She loves going to the sauna with her friends.
We love listen to metal(core)-music (and all kinds of other music) and concerts, going to the cinema, watching Netflix and going for a walk in nature. We would describe ourselves as very calm, open-minded and helpful people. We speak English, German and a few words of Spanish. We spent a few months in New Zealand, sometimes as workawayers, in 2019/2020 until COVID stopped our travel plans. We would love to travel to this beautiful county with our daughter again.
Do you have any questions? Please let us know.
We would love to read from you!
