Overview
About Me
I am quite a positive and optimistic person, especially after I had my coffee in the morning. Good coffee is actually crucial as I am definitely not a morning person 😉 And I don't take myself too serious. I love to meet people no matter which age or background, have interesting conversations and hear about the history and culture of your country from you and have good laughs together.
I am curious about the startup scene around the world and would love to meet with people who run their own business or are seriously planning to do so and are interested to team up. Happy to meet with people who can share their experiences on running an online business and combining working and traveling. And I am open to collaboration offers around the world in coaching and training. I also have experience in running workshops in German, English and French.
I love visiting small cafés, art galleries and photo exhibitions or just being outside enjoying nature. And I love street art 😊 And good food! I also love strolling around the city and by doing so I normally get lost and often end up in finding the best places.
I prefer the hidden local spots and places locals go to, to any tourist place.
“We know what we are, but not what we may be.” William Shakespeare
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In 2017 I went on a 5 months trip with my backpack and no plan, except the plan not to plan ahead, but instead to spontaneously decide and see where my journey would take me. Therefore, my requests here are usually rather last minute. I am quite spontaneous and uncomplicated 😁 I started in Dubai, hopped over to Bangkok and Singapore, spent 3 months in Australia traveling on rideshares, hopped over to Tasmania for 2 weeks of camping when it was already freezing cold at night, travelled New Zealand for 1 month and saw the other side of beautiful and touristic Fiji. All this time I have been either couchsurfing or camping :) I love to meet locals and other travellers whereever I go. Couchsurfing is the best way to meet and connect with people from all over the world, to see a place from a local perspective and to really get to know a country and the culture and to broaden your horizon.
Back in Switzerland I started my own business, and I have a couple more project/business ideas in mind, which I will be focusing on this year and see how I can combine work and travel :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveling on my own for 5 months in 2017 and now running my own business. Okay, these are 2 things. But I am planning on adding even more 😄
Teach, Learn, Share
There are so many things on my bucket list that I want to learn and do...I am working on it 😉 I would love to learn juggling and slacklining and I want to become a better photographer. I also want to learn new languages and improve the ones I already speak. I would also love to learn how to code...and to draw :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am a good listener and I enjoy good conversations and lots of laughs. I can also teach you some German, Swiss German, French or Hungarian 😉 I love interior design and am happy to help if you need some inspiration on how to make your place feel more like home or better organized :)
