I love doing sports like climbing, hiking, kiting, trekking, kayaking, biking. I grew up in the rural north side of Switzerland in a very small town. Ever since I finished my first degree I've been regularly travelling, mostly combined with climbing. Often if possible, I live in my VW Van. I have a degree in metal work and welding which I haven't worked as in over 10 years. Right after that degree I studied film production and theater in Central California and became later a light technician in the Swiss event industry for about 8 years. In between I opened a Taco Food Market wit a VW Bus and also worked part time as a social worker to integrate jobless people. I love to produce sound on my computer with ableton, jamming with instruments or watching a movie. I'm probably a bit addicted to the internet but I love it. I also enjoy good food and live music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In California I kept passing a street because I couldn't find the language school that was supposed to be there. Some dude approached me what I'm looking for. Well, I ended up with this guy and his friend at a bar. We had great conversations, one of them was an outstanding guitar player and luckely I had a place to couchsurf that night.
