Hi! Here I am: just graduated in Maths from EPFL in Switzerland, I'm a rock climber, skier, alpinist, I love sailing and drumming, and always going with the flow! If I'm not at work at EPFL you can probably find me climbing (or skiing, if it's winter) in the beautiful mountains of Valais.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love making connections with people. I discovered that couchsurfing is a great way to meet great people and live beautiful, unexpected experiences! Each time I meet someone I learn new things. I love debating with people with a different point of view; I love to listen and to tell true stories.

Interests

I grew up in a small city on a lake next to the Alps: no surprise I'm a fan of the outdoors! I like exploring cities as well, but I'm more interested by the people living there, than by monuments or boring museums. I love hanging out in places with live music and feel connected to the flow of the musicians. I like living strong emotions and feelings.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost every kind of music, from electro to Jazz, from old school rock to the newest indie songs, and also commercial music if it makes me dance like crazy! I'm a fan of Haruki Murakami's books and that oniric atmosphere that I can breathe while reading his romances. I like reading books that contain whole new universes. I love unusual movies: Donnie Darko is my all-time favourite (so far)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- 6 weeks by myself travelling across the West coast of Canada and the Rockies. I hitchhiked for the whole time, more than 4000km and backpacked for more than 500 km. Thanks to CS I met some of the most incredible and caring people ever, that made my trip unforgettable!
- 10 days by myself exploring the Canary islands by bike. My first solo trip!
- 2 weeks backpacking in southern Iceland
- A roadtrip of 3 weeks with my car and 3 friends of mine, in the southern fjords of Norway.
- A 22-hours (car to car) climb of the north face of Piz Badile in Switzerland. Oh man that felt good!
