I am an English guy living in Eglisau with my Swiss wife, Mirjam (who speaks English, German and Swiss German fluently). We enjoy travelling, getting to know new people and hearing travel stories!

There is lots to do in our village in the summer like swimming in the river, going for nice walks in nature, and also grabbing a coffee in the village center. Switzerland is pretty small though, so there is always cool stuff to see and do nearby!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fellow travelers, be hospitable, and swap stories!

Interests

We both enjoy sports, playing board games, and nature. I also enjoy films, and trying to grow different edible things at home!

Whilst travelling we really like hanging out with people, trying new restaurants and foods, exploring, swimming, taking photos and having fun. We would also like to see different projects that are going on in the areas that we visit. e.g. Urban farming, aquaponics, community building, etc. (trying to get ideas for the future).
