CURRENT MISSION: Exploring Sweden and Scandinavia

ABOUT ME:
I think the word "epicure" is a fairly good description for my personality. There's a lot of things I enjoy: Travelling, good company, food from all over the world, good coffee, good wine, science, books, movies, a variety of different music styles and many, many more things...

PHILOSOPHY:
Life is too short for bad holidays!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do both with great pleasure: surfing AND hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've already done both, surfing and hosting and so far, I've only had good experiences.
During surfing I always learned a lot about the local cultures - much more than you'd learn as an "average" tourist! And I met a whole lot of great people!!!
At the moment, hosting people will be a bit difficult, since I'm on an exchange in Sweden. But you can try nevertheless!

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked 50 km during the night...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: The languages I speak (especially Swiss German, which is a quite funny language), Cooking (what about some Swiss or Greek dishes?), Table Tennis (at least the fundamentals)

Learn: I'm always curious to learn about new cultures and I love learning languages, so teach me yours!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Definitely my cooking skills (if you trust in them). For me it's almost an unwritten law that a surfer cooks for his host (at least once) or that we cook together, which is even more fun!

Languages: I'm glad to teach you some words of German, French or Greek, but I'm also always open to catch up some bits of a new language.

Travel experiences: I'm curious about yours and gladly share mine!

Time: The most appealing thing about couchsurfing is for me that one can spend time with somebody, whom otherwise one would never ever encouter and that out of those encouters there might even grow friendships. That's what distinguishes in my opinion couchsurfing from other "styles" of travelling.
