I love outdoor sports like hiking, camping, rock climbing, downhill and cross-country skiing, and I always love to try new sports, so I've dabbled in white-water kayaking, ice climbing and winter camping. I also love learning, whether new recipes, political theory, new languages and places, anything and everything. I enjoy exploring and meeting new people, especially when I'm lucky enough to get an insider's perspective in a new place instead of passing through as a tourist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm studying in Switzerland in my last year of undergraduate studies and want to travel and meet new people and explore while I'm in Europe

What I Can Share with Hosts
