About Me

Hey there,
Since I moved to Zurich it got more complicated to host people. You'd have to sleep in the same room as me on the Sofa. So i only host people for one night. If you are cool with that - write me!

Photography and Film are everything to me. Travel is the best way to meet interesting people and maybe get some inspiration along the way. Most of my "models" I meet on the road which leads to some great portraits. So if you wanna do some pictures - I am always up for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I tried it out and it was amazing!

I do both surfing and hosting. When I am in Thun I live with my parents, but for them its ok to host people, so don't be afraid to ask! I'm really looking forward to be able to host as well :). But as I am guest and not owner I might be a little bit picky about who I invite.

During the week if I am not on vacation I am mostly in Zurich and not able to host people there. But always up to show you the city or go out!

Interests

Film and Photography are the reason why I get up every morning. I work for the Swiss TV, some local newspapers and attend Filmschool.

I am unable to travel without taking my camera with me and trying to tell stories. It's what I love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling Russia alone with any language knowledge was kind of tough, stupid but beautiful at the same time :D
The moment where I sat in a hunting lodge near Volgograd in the deepest forrest with ten local hunters around the fire -barely able to talk a single english word - but to clink vodka glasses and find out more about how they see things was absolutely amazing - although I didn't get most of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

You wanna see the hidden beautiful places in Switzerland? Especially Berner Oberland.
- I know them. I love hiking the mountains and discover the cities of Switzerland. To show you around or give you useful tips would be a pleasure. I live in a paradise and would love to share something.

Also cooking together If I got time is a great thing which I enjoy a lot - Fondue and Racelette are typical dishes and very easy to make.
