Enthusiastic energy bundle fueled by an overload of chocolate! I like trying new things, small and big challenges... there's always room for growth. Love to meet new people, share various ideas and enjoy some time together.

Studied engineering for some years, right now I am mainly working. Designing plasma reactors for thin film deposition: summarized as nerdy and very fascinating :) Otherwise... I really like to talk and do things with people. Be it friends or random new people, both is fascinating. Hosting people now, 'cause I cannot always travel myself.
It needs a lot to get me either tired or make me loose my (a bit sarcastic) humor :) If you've a cool idea for some thing to do, you can count me in even if I'm totally crushed.
I like to talk about all kind of stuff, not seldomly the more useless stuff. Buut it's just more fun.

To anyone writing a request... I will really only accept requests anymore where people at least have some clear reason why they chose me as a host. Boring copy & paste requests are not worth my time. I might make exceptions for people who hosted many people already, for the sake of the community.

!! I've got no flat or place to live at the moment, so I cannot host :-) Hope I will have the chance again soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

'Cause I like traveling and I always met cool people everywhere while traveling. And because I like chocolate (if you don't see the connection, there is none...)

Interests

I am an active person, doing all kind of sports. Outdoor sports are awesome!

I can of course talk about the stuff I studied and work on. Sometimes I get a bit tech-nerdy :D Loving to think about all those new things you could do, be it useful or not.

And yeah of course, I love traveling. I realized that cheaper traveling is the more interesting traveling. All those great times in local busses (where i scarcely fit) or accomodations with colourful people, I don't want to miss it :) And I like to photograph and save all those awesome memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Although I prefer to laugh most of the time in my life I actually favor movies with more serious topics. No great favorites however...

Music: Again a very diplomatic answer. I listen to many differerent vibes, however it doesn't really need to be bad ass gangster rap or so :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living abroad in China and Canada as well as travelling through different parts of Asia, Southern Africa, Central America and most of Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

To teach: A lot of senseless stuff, pretty much about technology and the one or other way to do things easier, photography, the more or less useful vocabulary I remember from different languages, how to stick a toothpick with your tongue up your nose.

Learn: Anything worth it ;)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, China, Liechtenstein, Switzerland
