About Me

I'm a math teacher in Switzerland, married with two kids.

When I don't work or do stuff with my family, I love hiking, climbing, ski touring, playing the guitar and the piano, or relaxing with a book, or play game of chess or Hearthstone (or one of the dozens of board games we own).

I'm also the author of GLtron (http://www.gltron.org/), a game that used to be very popular in the early 2000s.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm pretty new to couchsurfing but the experience so far has been fantastic. I met some very nice people I would have never gotten in contact with otherwise. And especially when travelling alone, it's always nice to meet people to share travel advice and stories with.
