CURRENT MISSION

finding as many pieces as possible to get the big picture of life

ABOUT ME

I have left Switzerland in November 2007 to get some work experience in England. I first stayed in Surrey with my sister until my way lead me up to Nottingham in March 2008. In this time I have met many new people mainly through couchsurfing.
I am very easy to get on with, and people have described me as chilled out or even as a "free spirit". I am genuine, what you see is what you get, I can't pretend or fake and I don't like to. I don't expect to become everybody's best friend, as this doesn't just happen overnight, but on the other hand with me, once you're in, you're in.
We are aiming to be as close to nature as possible trying not to leave too many footprints on our planet and treat everyone and everything with respect and consideration. My boyfriend especially knows everything about wildlife and nature and we go camping and hiking to explore the beautiful areas England has to offer as often as we can.
We now have a little boy, Thomas, born in Jan 2016, so it might be a bit more hectic then it used to when staying with us. But you still have the guest room available when you stay with us. And we have a dog, Tia, born in 2011, with us since 2013.

PHILOSOPHY

Go out and paint life in your colors, but be considerate of nature and your peers. Only look back to learn, not to regret. There is a time for everything and it all happens for a reason.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have moved to Newark in April 2013 and are happy to host you if you look for a couch in Newark or to show anyone around that is new in town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only irregularly participate in the Nottingham couchsurfing community, but have met many long-standing friends through couchsurfing. Many have moved on in the mean-time though.

We also have had many lovely people staying with us in Newark.

Intereses

My main interest is to set up my business as a Kinesiologist. I am always looking for people that want to improve their energy and health and are keen to find out about alternative medicine pathways in order to lead a healthy life.
I do all kinds of sports that involve some form of water like swimming, surfing, rowing, wake boarding or snowboarding and would like to try kayaking, but I also like (beach) volleyball, cycling or yoga. I love to be outdoors, at the waterside or hiking in the mountains.

Música, películas y libros

I absolutely love Massive Attack, Portishead and all sorts of Bristol influenced sound. A bit of rock like Smashing Pumpkins or Linkin Park or pop like Counting Crows is amongst my favourites as well as Depeche Mode. Can't do much with many current mainstream bands, but I still enjoy listening to the radio.

Algo increíble que he hecho

One month in Bali where I met so many wonderful, beautiful and interesting people, places and sceneries, colors and smells. This was my longest experience in surfing (waves) and in the water I have experienced both, complete happiness as well as life threatening moments.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Teach: My mother tongue is Swiss and I speak fluent German, basic French and a tiny bit of Italian. I can show you yoga techniques or go skiing or snowboarding with you.
Share: I am studying to become a qualified Kinesiology practitioner and am always looking for people that I can help to improve their health. I am very interested in the relationship between body and mind, be it through yoga, shiatsu, reflexology or accupuncture etc.
Learn: life and it's different philosophies and approaches
