CURRENT MISSION

Learning computational magic tricks... after that I'm gonna have a beer!

ABOUT ME

I'm optimistic, honest, caring and sometimes a bit of a smartass.

The reason for me to be on couchsurfing is twofold: First, I like meeting people. Secondly, I think travelling is one of the best ways to learn about our world and as I know that Switzerland is expensive, I'd like to reduce the price tag of a trip through Switzerland by hosting people :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I truly believe there is enough of everything for everyone on planet earth. However, we need to improve the ways in which we use the resources of our planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, be hosted and spread the word, of course :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few people over the years and I have also met a lot of couchsurfers through my friends, who are very active on CS.

Interests

I'm a computer geek - I spend a big part of my day in front of a screen. Other than that, I'm very interested in politics, economics, psychology, history, and religion. I enjoy listening to music, reading, playing computer games, watching movies, travelling, running, snowboarding and snowshoeing.
