About Me

We are a couple from Switzerland on our way to explore the world. We travel by hitchhiking, often sleep in our tent and want to get to know local people and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When we decided to go travelling, the one thing we agreed on most was: we want to travel for culture and people. We don't really care so much for sightseeing, but instead we want to experience places through the eyes of locals. Couchsurfing is for us a platform to get to meet amazing people who share a love for the world and go on adventures. Committing to whatever experience is available right now.

Music, Movies, and Books

We like most music, except maybe heavy metal or electronic music.

If asked to pick one genre it would be Classical or Musical.

I, Benjamin love reading fantasy books, most recently the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson.
One of my favorites: Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss.

Some movies we enjoy most:
Hello Dolly
Music and Lyrics
Down with Love

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Our first ever Couchsurfing host took us highlining. To sit there on a long line over nothing and then letting go and consciously falling was such an experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

We love to share our music and stories. And learn to speak some words in the local language.
We are open to new experiences and like learning anout whatever is most dear to the people we interact with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have our favourite pieces of music with us to sing and play, especially if you happen to have a piano around.
I, Benjamin love to cook, for example a good swiss Rösti. Mmmh.

And we have stories to share and ears for listening :)
