Heyo!
My name is Fabien, but you can call me any variation of that name. Fabs, Fab, Fabi, Fabioso... Bob.
I'm a neuroscientist, freshly done with my PhD, for which I studied schizophrenia. Currently travelling through South America with my partner, Maria (https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2011542374?utm_campaign=profile_share&utm_source=couchsurfing-ios).
I'm a very curious and creative person. You want to share your favourite piece of knowledge, or your favourite knitting pattern? I'm all ears. :D I also really enjoy learning how to play new instruments (next item on that list: the saxophone), though I'm an expert at none.
I've been dancing for almost ten years now, mostly Lindy Hop, but also a bit of salsa and rock n' roll here and there. One of my goals for my travels is to learn as many new dances as possible :)
I come from a tiny village in the Swiss Alps. This gave me a deep love of mountains and vast landscapes. I'm always ready to go on a hike, or to sit by a tree and look at the view.
Always happy to meet new people, so... nice to meet you! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is great, but I feel like one never truly feels a place unless you spend time with people who live there. So, thanks Couchsurfing for providing a tool to get in touch with people from all over the world! :D
