My name is Andrea. I live in the agglomeration of Lucerne (Rothenburg). This is a village in the middle of Switzerland.

I used to work as a businesswoman in the commercial branch. Soon I noticed, that this is not the right job for me, so I decided to quite. After my quit I was travelling in Europe, South Africa and Asia. Between my travels I was working at many different places. Last automn I started to study social working.

I'm open minded, easy going, friendly, respectful, and I'm smiling almost all the time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great concept! I'm excited to travel around and see the different countries in the way they really are and not only the touristy places.

I've already done couchsurfing when I was travelling through France for almost two months. I met great people. We cooked together, we laught, we listened to music, we had conversations, we went for a walk, we did surf, and so on! I had great experiences and this is the reason why I want to continue on couchsurfing - to share!

Interests

I love to be active, travelling around, practice different sports like squash, frisbee, aerobic or jogging. During the summer I like hiking and during the winter season I love snowboarding. When it's good weather, I always try to be outside!

I love to spend time with my friends, meet new people from all over the world, talk in different languages, drink a huge cup of coffee in the morning, have a beer with friends or drink a glass of wine on a summery evening.
