About Me

I am a curious guy from Switzerland trying to understand how our world works. I always try to learn something new, help, exchange ideas and create cool things.

I study electrical engineering because I have a drive to fix our pressing problems regarding climate change, neuroscience and health. I think with engineering you have a bigger leverage to make an impact in our world.

In my free time, I like to be active and do sports outside (biking, running, swimming, sailing, hiking). Recently, I also got into dancing and I enjoy it a lot (Lindy Hop & Ballroom). I like building DIY projects. I am also interested in culture and always down to go to a theater or watch a new Arthouse movie. I am very easy-going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want to be a tourist, I want to interact with locals, experience how they live, perceive the world in an authentic way and have a cultural exchange. Together we can talk, laugh and grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My brother and I decided to take an 20 hour ferry to a small village in Borneo. During the ride, we made friends with a local from this village and he invited us to do activities with him. Therefore, we went fishing with his family in the Mahakam river in a ces (motorized canoe). Afterwards, we cooked a big family dinner. The whole experience was very heart-warming.
