About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep on discovering!

ABOUT ME

I love to discover - new countries, new people, new ideas and much more! When I'm not travelling (which happens quite often), I'm working in Singapore for a branch of Swiss University of Technology and do research on transportation of future cities.

I'm very active person and always looking for some open-minded people to do sports, go out or travel together! There is so much to experience in this world! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a citizen of the world! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host a lot of people, when I was living in San Diego at the beach. Since I moved to Singapore it got a lot harder, as I have a busy schedule and spend a lot of time out of the country. Still always happy if it somehow works out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As many others on this site, I had a really amazing experience thanks to Couchsurfing. It's a fantastic platform to make new friends and experience places in a way, you could never do by staying in a hotel! Everybody who is open for meeting new people and learning about different cultures, lifestyles and places, has to experience Couchsurfing!
