Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In my family, we used to host many people. Once, my mother even gave my room to some young guys for a gathering of Taizé, so I had to find another place to stay for a while :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Across Russia, China, Thailand, Argentina, ... during a world trip in 2011-2012!

Interests

I am very curious and can sometimes be a wikipedia-freak. To summarize, I love Skiing (hell yeah, I come from Switzerland), Fencing (it may be the French touch) and water-sports of all kind (such as windsurfing, wavesurfing, kiteboarding ...).
I also enjoy playing Go (chinese board game "similar" to chess), acting in theater pieces (although I am bad at it) and partying!
