CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new faces & places.

ABOUT ME

I'm an architect currently working in the field of cooperation & development who shares his life/ time between Switzerland and other parts of the world.

In a nutshell, I am a cocktail of asian & european personality. Born and raised in Switzerland, having lived in Malaysia, The Philippines, Mexico, Canada and Myanmar, I am currently living & working in Pakistan and likely to be here for a while. Love to discover new cultures, faces and places.

Sorry to all the people to whom I havent been able to reply lately but as you may not know, I am not currently living in Myanmar anymore - one of the most loving country I've had the privilege to live in - but recently moved to Islamabad, Pakistan. Other world, other people, other challenges but altogether very exiting!

Feel free to drop me a line, somewhere a couch is always awaiting you!

PHILOSOPHY

Let's leave this to those who know how to discuss distinctly philosophical topics and meet standards of thoroughness and correctness.

If you leave it to me, it might more likely sound like: "alway be positive!" or any other ineptitude of the same kind...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surprisingly, I host people. Well, at leat I hope to! I read their request first, then try to answer quickly, and if my couch's available, if I'm home and most importantly, if I have some time to share with my guests, then I welcome them to my place and do my best to make them feel comfortable. French speakers are more than welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but whoewer feels like being my first ginipeg and visit the splendors and misticism of Korça for a couple of days is more than welcome! ;-)

Interests

Traveling, photography, languages, experience, read, think, listen, talk, making coffee, drinking coffee, smelling coffee, laugh, feel, observe, absorb,learn, share, marathon running, social experiments, listen to music, chocolate, red wine, adventure cycling, go out with friends...

Also, architecture... Buildings, lines, planes, orthogonal grids, Bauhaus, swiss rationalism...

All things considered, a good conversation keeps my attention for a long time!

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectism! I listen to everything from classical to rock, from jazz to traditionnal music, folk, blues, latin... Arvö Part, Beethove, Mahler, Anouar Brahemn, Tchaikovsky, Miles, Jimmy Hendrix, Coltrane, I enjoy all of them equally.

I feel as confortable with a good sub-average action movie as with a more art-house films, depending on which mode my mood is tuned in.

I'm not a greedy reader, although I always shed a couple of tears when I read a short Sepulveda novel. I'm also keen on "Klassische Moderne" german writings as well as Russian litterature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed half Asia on my bike thought hight frozen peaks, wide, windy and dry planes and survived in the middle of the Pamir range from a one week turista.

Feeding my sister's hamster during a whole week and many other things...
