CURRENT MISSION

Surf a big wave

ABOUT ME

My name is Beni and I grew up in Bern, Switzerland.
I like to meet open-minded people, modern art, cooking for myself and friends, reading good fantasy books in the morning of a rainy Sunday in my bed or on my balcony in a sunny afternoon, all kinds of hammocks, deep house music, Jack Johnson, R2-D2 Trashcans, Stormtrooper Helmets, coffee, traveling, camping, hiking, wwoofing, nice bars, poker, black jack, practicing and watching different sports like volleyball, beach volleyball, soccer, football, baseball, rugby, surfing, kite surfing, tennis, table tennis, racket ball, badminton, basketball, running, working out, crossfit, windsurfing, swimming and skiing, thinking about important and non-important things, dancing salsa, doing Drum&Bass Dance on my own when nobody is watching, pen&paper role-play games, watching American late night shows, juggling, splitting bamboo (it's a very easy and satisfying job.

I can be very quiet but also very talkative depends on the situation. My friends would probably say that I like to take things slowly and I hate being in a rush. They would also say that I need sometimes several explanations before I understand something but that's more because I am daydreaming.
I am easy-going but I also like to have things a certain way.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the little things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will start university in September 2013 and move to another city and I would really like to host other couchsurfers but first I need to find an apartment and then will see if the circumstances will allow me to host people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was wwoofing on a small bamboo farm in the subtropical rainforest and it was an amazing experience to sleep in a bamboo batak and watch the millions of fireflies buzzing through this giant grass.
