About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Embrace world's diverse cultures

ABOUT ME

I enjoy travelling and interacting with people of different cultures while finding out more about their exciting experiences and ideas. Sharing moments with CSers is definitely one of my biggest hobbies. People will say about me that I am a trustworthy, friendly, intuitive and diplomatic person who enjoys participating in new adventures openly. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Always do what you love best and challenge yourself to experience more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Involving myself in events, groups, activities. Anytime up for a coffee or a drink even if I am in town only for a few hours.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A pleasure for me to host and surf according to CS guidelines (very simple & useful indeed) and, in the same time, enjoying the freedom of experiencing the greatness of every one I am lucky to know.

Interests

Lawn tennis is my favorite sport and I play it regularly. I also love skiing, cycling, swimming, going to the gym, hanging out for a movie, drink & chat and taking the first train / plane to a new wonderful place :)

3) Did the Official Cycling Tour of Lake Geneva (180km) in 5h48m!
4) Drove a Ferrari on a circuit!
5) Been to Disneyland (Paris) and tried every roller-coaster in 1 day
6) Played my favorite sport with CS friends
7) Desert trip & camel ride
8) Completed all cycling paths in the French and German sides of Switzerland
9) 4100 miles drive in 15 days in California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada.

Plenty more - just ask me :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you plenty of things of European culture ranging from geography and history to all sorts of curiosities & "did you know" collections ;) Additionally, I would feel really happy to teach tennis and some maths / computer science.

I am interested in learning more about cooking (recently), sports I never tried, great trips, not-so-well-known places, things to do in 7 days, etc.

Sharing my passions and experiences openly.
