(Always difficult to describe yourself... I'll give it a try.. ๐) As most people on Couchsurfing an open-minded guy (I guess) from Switzerland. I like to read and play the guitar, I like sports (favourite: Handball and Football), like to travel and to learn (and use) different languages. A couple of years ago, I used to live in Central America, which was a very defining experience for me. Favourite musicians are Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Silvio Rodrรญguez and Zรผri West (Swiss Band) and I like every type of food (except Sushi). Fascination for History. ๐
Interested in Board games

Fluent in German
Learning Italian
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I believe that travelling is more than just hop on an airplane, enjoy a couple of weeks in some place and then go back. I think travelling is about learning, sharing, connecting, from time to time falling and much more. ๐ For me it is very important to get to know local people from the place I am staying, to have an insight into their daily business, to be able to understand the culture of a country or a region. And I think that Couchsurfing is a great way to connect to that.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I had the great opportunity to live for a time in Costa Rica with a local family, to go to school there, to work there and to experience, how life looks like on the other side of our planet.
