Hello!

My name is Arnaud, 41, Swiss and French, working in a bank in Zurich.

I’m far from being your typical banker (ok the profile picture is not helping but I like it haha) as I studied French & English literature and some political science on the side. I also worked in a wine company, in bars and restaurants in the UK. This enabled me to meet some exceptional people.

As my current job is all about money and figures, I want my private life to be all about people and experiences. Much more exciting and enjoyable. I want to have as much fun as possible!

I have lived in England and Germany and have had several jobs like French teacher and wine advisor.

I love to travel, learn foreign languages, get to know new people and share good stories. Like 99% of the people here, I know 🤷🏻‍♂️

I haven’t travelled as much as I would like to (who has?) but maybe I will travel a bit by meeting you. The few encounters I have had through this platform were fully positive so I’m looking forward to the next exchange.

Let me show you Zurich and Switzerland 🇨🇭and teach you some French 🇫🇷

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
