I am a traveller at heart and love getting to know different cultures and meeting people.

I was born and raised in lovely Basel, Switzerland and have been too busy working and studying lately. I am a trained primary school teacher and have just finished my masters to teach handicrafts and home economics on secondary school levels.

In my spare time I like meeting friends, go to exhibitions, go for walks or go dancing. Everything else I am happy to tell you over a cup of coffee or tea, a cold beer or a glass of wine :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen mainly to electronica but I am open to other genres. Love books and movies. Just finished Arundathi Roy’s Ministry of Utmost Happiness which I found great. Prefer documentaries and independent productions to cinema mainstream.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Outstanding is my trip around half of the world on my own :) during one year but without surfing couches.

I speak fluent German and English, basic French and I’d like to learn Italian.
