Overview
About Me
I study creative writing. I work a lot on reading performances and short stories in divers shapes and forms.
I like to meet people, who have completly different view on life than I do.
I live in a green house 100 metres from the train station and the lake. Everything here is DIY, we have a lot of space, winters are cold and summers are f***ing awesome. We are Urs, Nuri, Linda and me, a mathmatician, a kite surfer, a dancer and a writer. It's all quite laid back and we always enjoy having visitors.
Up to two surfers are no problem, if you're more, we might be able to find a solution.
Biel might not be a tourist magnet, but in the three years i've spent there, i really started to love the place. The bigger part of the city might be a bit scabby, but the people are amazing, just like the old town, the mountains, and the lake around it. And even though it's a small city, there's something going on almost every night (tuesdays are shit), mostly psychedelic rock and french rap (the city's bilingual german/french).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Up to know, all my surfing experiences have been interesting in completely different ways, where hostels become all the same after a few journeys.
I'm interested in finding new perspectives on life.
