Overview
About Me
I'm a cheerful, curious, and spontaneous guy from Switzerland who loves travelling mainly for meeting new people and trying to understand different cultures and ways of life. Things I love include bicycles, political discussions, statistics, hiking, audiobooks, food, card games and dad jokes.
I finished my studies a few months back and now I'm using this opportunity to travel before getting stuck in the professional world. I first travelled through India and Nepal with my best friend for around two months. Since June 3rd I have been solo-travelling in the US.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Trying to meet cool people so I can see beyond the touristy places.
