About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing up my studies with my thesis about building a hyperloop after crossing Southamerica from west to east.

ABOUT ME

26 last time I checked, active, braodly interested and sportive. Been studying in Zurich now for three years and haven't got to travel a lot recently but had the chance to host a couple of times when I had an extra room.
During high school, I spent a year in the United States, what really opened my mind . It got me hooked on travelling and exploring the world and it's people.

PHILOSOPHY

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First heard about it during my exchange year in the US. When I went back two years later I surfed a couple of times during my 2 months trip from west to east and made some really experiences that changed my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed and hosted quite a few times by now, not only through couchsurfing. Never had a bad experience and still prefer surfing on your couch to a five star hotel.

Music: Well, recently it's been a lot of swing jazz, trad jazz and especially gipsy jazz (Django Reinhardt stuff) and some classical music. But there's been a phase that I listened to almost any kind of music in my life...
from cumbia to hiphop and techno, any genre can excite me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took part in the International Session of the European Youth Parliament in Athens, 2011

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach learn and share anything concerning food, technology, music, literature, (outdoor) sports and much more. I like to dance and can do a bit of Salsa. Anyone able to teach me the funky chicken or mashed potatoe will be my hero. I'll sing, dance and ride along with whatever you come up with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, (teach you how to) fix your bike, some funny stories, play the guitair, teach you swing dancing
