About Me

Hello there stranger :)
I'm an easy-going person and I love to have a laugh.
In my free time I like to be with friends and family. Another big passion I have is baking!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very keen on travelling and meeting people from all over the world. I think that staying with locals is the best way to explore new places!
I'm also happy to show anybody around in my home town Basel.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very much into reading and love both: modern and literature from earlier days (I read mostly novels). Some of my absolute favorite books of all times are: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Momo by Michael Ende and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Oh and of course Harry Potter. How could you not love Harry Potter.
Concerning movies I like almost every genre except horror movies.
Same for music: I like to get to know new bands & music styles! But some bands I've LOVED for years are Patent Ochsner, Coldplay, Linkin Park and Green Day. Oh and I might be slightly obsessed with ABBA songs ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Tarzan Swing in Monteverde, Costa Rica --> you'll find it on google.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like the exchange of cultures, experience different ways of thinking and then realise, that we're all not that different!
And I am a collector of words. So it'd be great if you could tell me what your favourite word (in any language) is and what it means

What I Can Share with Hosts

baking recipes, Swiss German words like Chuchichäschtli (even though this one is really stereotypical), books and whatever you might like!
