CURRENT MISSION

I'm rather sceptical of missions of all kinds. I much prefer saving the world secretly, and not letting anyone know that it was me :o)

ABOUT ME

I live in Leuk, a small pre-medieval mountain town in upper Wallis (Haut-Valais), Switzerland's sunniest corner. I'm a broadcaster, media consultant, author and trainer for radio and TV talent. As a part of my job, I often travel and I've spent a lot of time abroad, mostly in other European cities.

PHILOSOPHY

Always trying to live out my personal philosophy; and trying to be wise enough to keep it to myself rather than bothering the rest of the world with it. They rightfully have their own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

...mainly as a couchsurfing host. I wish this platform had existed when I was in my teens and twenties, and used to to re-count my remaining travel money daily to decide whether it's sleeping bag on the beach, or hostel ^^

Interests

...a few things I like: history, geography, old maps and the evolution of boundaries, literature, art (especially paintings), vinyl / shellac records, music, theatre, themed exhibitions, languages and their evolution, cooking, wining and dining, good times and laughs with friends, good times and laughs with myself, reading, thinking, creative work, snowboarding, travelling...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music and books: too many to mention! Once you've been at my place, you can tell. Movies: very few, as I always fall asleep when trying to watch one, be it at the cinema or at home... Seat me next to a dozen multiple Oscar winners, and I'd be clueless who they are. So, if you're a multiple Oscar winner, don't hesitate to surf my couch. You will remain 100% incognito and can pretend to be a mere mortal - after all you know how to act! ;o)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loads. Luckily, most of them are time-barred by now.
:o)

Teach, Learn, Share

There's no one, one cannot learn from - or teach something to, for that matter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect, curiosity and an open, unbiased heart.
