Hy, my name is Benjamin and I‘m a primary school teacher from Switzerland. I‘m 28 years old and recently travelling with a friend of mine
(https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jan-vogler) through Asia for about 6 months. I‘ve never done Couchsurfing before, but heard a lot of good things. If you‘re open minded as I am I‘m sure we‘ll have good conversations about our countries, politics, sports or life in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Look forward to meeting new people and learning new perspectives about cultures, work, education...
and to be honest, im on a low budget :-/

Music, Movies, and Books

Whether it is classical, hiphop, pop or blues, you‘ll find everything in my playlist:).
Trying to catch up with the „required reading“ such as Kafka or Keller but can‘t stop reading crimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We travelled from Moscow to Vladivostok with the transiberian train. Met a lot of locals who didn‘t speak any english but we still communicated with hands and google translate and had a great time getting to know them, and learned some Russian!

Teach, Learn, Share

We have never been to Japan before, but just heard good things. We‘re looking forward to experience the Japanese culture, landscape and architectures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We could give you a German language lesson, share our travel ecxperiences or show you some basic chords on the guitar
