I am open minded, humorous and interested in other cultures.
Being raised by two art teachers I'm very artsy myself. I just finished one year of precourse at Arts School. Coming September I'll start studying fashion design.
Three years ago I spent an exchange year in New Delhi, India.
I love cooking, baking, music, dancing, books, art and travelling, theatre (acting as well as enjoying).

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've made the experience that you learn the most about a country and its culture when you have the possibility to join in the everyday life of locals.

I independently did an exchange year in India. I lived with an Indian family as their (new) family member and went to school with my host siblings. Like this I got to know the Indian way of life and culture, I learned much more than a common tourist is able to see:
A tourist who stays at hotels and travels from monument to monument only gets to see the tip of the culture-iceberg. As I lived like an Indian, I had the chance to get a glimpse of the remaining 90% of the culure-iceberg, too. This ignited my passion for cultures even more! :)

I believe, the key to really get to know a culture is exchange with locals.
And what would be a better way to do so than couchsurfing?!

音乐、电影和书籍

When I'm asked for favorites I never know what to say :)
There are so many things I like (changing from mood to mood, too) and I'm always open for new recommendations.
But let me give you some examples for books, music and movies I like:

Music:
The Beatles (you'll find a song for whatever mood you're in)

Books:
Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

Films:
Orlando by Sally Potter (she hit the soul of Woolfs book!)
The films of Monsieur Hulot, for example Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Exchange year in India when I was 16/17

教，学，和分享

I want to learn as much as possible about as many cultures as possible.
In exchange I can offer you my knowlege about the Indian culture or I can answer your questions about Switzerland.
I also know a lot about art, if you're interested in that.
...and of course I can show you how to cook or bake.

I can cook an Indian dinner for you.
