Hey, nice to meet you!
I'm Axel - a student living in Zürich with a love for traveling and travelers alike :))

In 2022 I got the opportunity to live abroad for a year, and spent around 6 months traveling South-East Asia, living crazy stories, meeting amazing people and learning a lot both about the world and about myself. That year changed my life forever.

I'm now always looking for ways to meet open-minded people and to live beautiful experiences, from deep conversations to adrenaline rushes.

I hope to meet you and discover a part of your world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS to me is a place where people come to experience life rather than escape it. It's a community of the most open-minded people that want to connect, share and learn.

In other words, it's a community of people I want to meet! It's people I want to share with. It's people I want to learn from.

"Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…" - Timothy Leary

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Is it boring to say a bit of everything? Really though I can switch from one extreme to the other in record time, depending on the vibe I'm feeling. Besides listening I love to play the guitar! There too, classical, folk, pop, etc. I enjoy it all :)

Movies: Not a huge movie watcher to be very honest but I have this weird tendency to always like movies from the 90's - Good Will Hunting, Shawshank Redemption, Saving Private Ryan etc.
I do always love a good documentary too!

Books: I'm working on upping my book game, I just started to return to fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one!? Ok:

The memory that comes to mind is of how I unexpectedly ended up living from the Cambodian jungle with two locals - would love to tell you more about it when I meet you ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm dying to hear your story. Talk to me about anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share travel stories and beautiful conversations.
I'd love to prep up a French dish and would be more than happy to share cultures and languages.
