Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Austria, working there as a teacher, I regularly went with some friends to meet other couchsurfers, having a great time. Later, through other friends I surrendered to the mouth-to-mouth "advertising" and registered my own profile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the most amazing thing I have ever done wasn't even my decision: being born in Switzerland gave me one of my greatest gifts and my parent's philosophy made me love people in ways that couldn't be possible otherwise, thanks!

After this, the best experiences I had were my university exchange-programs in England and southern Spain, followed by a teaching experience in Austria, and all the trips, friends and photographies I have enjoyed on these roads.

My latest amazing adventure I did was to finally take make my 1st Camino de Santiago, 800km across Spain to reach my hometown with my bicycle. You can see & read about it on my blog here: theworldisahandkerchief.com/caminodesantiago/

Teach, Learn, Share

I share my pictures and photography skills, beware, I might take a picture of you ;)

I can cook you Spanish dishes and give cultural hints and stories of this culture...yeah, sure, if you want, swearwords can be teached too.

Hospitality is my business, but also part of my Galician heritage, you wanna check out?
