About Me

Hi there!

Currently two friends and I are doing a bikepacking tour through northern Italy and looking for people to host us.

I have hosted a few times while living in Lisbon, which was a really amazing experience, I am looking forward to get to know some cool people and their apartments :)

I like having drinks with friends and meeting new people. I like discussions that make me see things in a new way. There are so many interesting people in this world I have not met yet! I'm fascinated about maths and science. And I love to be outdoors, be it hiking, skiing, paragliding, climbing, swimming, running, playing games or a combination of those :)

Bio: I grew up in Basel, Switzerland. In high school I worked as a freelance web developer, but after doing an internship I realized that computer science was not for me. After high school I traveled Australia and Southeast Asia, where I had many amazing experiences. Now studying Policy at ETH Zurich and doing climate activism
