I’m Janine and i like to walk. Switzerland is the perfect place to live this passion. Still, two years ago i started to feel the longing for a change and to think about leaving my Swiss home for a while.

During these two years i collected many ideas where i would like to spend my time but much more important what i would like to spend it with. No plan emerged out of these ideas, i just picked out two things - to go to South America and to start with refreshing my Spanish. Next to walking in the mountains of the Argentine lake district around Bariloche. Everything else follows continuously. So i quit my job as a jurist and left at the beginning of January 2018. Since then i enjoyed the nature in many regions of Chile and Argentina to its fullest in walking, hiking, running, biking and swimming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel very slowly and am happy about every opportunity for an interesting cultural exchange. I am very social and curious and love to connect with local people. After more than a year traveling in Argentina and Chile i know many great people and would be happy to meet more of you guys.

Back home in Switzerland i am looking forward to offer opportunities for a cultural exchange and host great people from around the world.
