Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have been using Couchsurfing while travelling in Russia as well as in Argentina and had in both places amazing encounters with hosts and other locals that I met during the journeys.

Currently I cannot unfortunately host people at my apartment as it is undergoing some constructions. Very happy to meet up and show you around the historic and trendy sides of Zurich - the beautiful city that I call home for almost 9 years now.
