CURRENT MISSION
Finish my PhD and somehow ensure my decent and independent survival in the future while facing existential questions and getting entertained with a lot of random stuff

ABOUT ME
Curious about the world and its people, easy going in general

PHILOSOPHY
Way too little space to answer to that word. I generally support causes for social justice, but don't adhere to any specific school of thought... Philosophical discussions over drinks are a thing ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I haven't been active yet here in Switzerland, but will likely join the CS community here soon.
Depending on the date/how busy I am, I could host people or meet for a beer/coffee and show them sights around the place. I'm adaptable when being hosted, and like to explore the places I visit from the point of view of locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been hosted a couple of times, also met some couchsurfers who were hosted by close friends and helped in showing them around the city were I was. I also joined a couple of couchsurfer meetings in Mexico City with very fun results.
