CURRENT MISSION

Surf the Planet

ABOUT ME

I'm Matthias, born December 8th 1990 so currently 23 years old. Be sure that I will forget to update this so if you're reading in 2016, I'm not 22 anymore. I'm Swiss (from Switzerland which is a very different place than Sweden), tall and sometimes bearded. I like sports and music (been playing the saxophone for 12 years), hanging out with friends and beers, travelling, meeting people, food, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the best of what you're given.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been surfing a little on a west coast trip in Australia. It's been good and I hope to do it again in New Zealand in January, and in Europe in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went on a trip in Western Australia in December 2013 with my old friend Ben. It was our first time surfing but overall it's been a great experience. We usually only stayed for one night but our hosts always showed us a great time.
