About Me

I’m a rocket scientist and duck enthusiast from California studying engineering at the ETH in Zurich. I love boarding sports and the main driving force in my life is to experience as many different perspectives of it.
I love chatting and love diving deep into philosophical conversation. I’ll be quite outspoken as well as very opinionated, if you catch me in the right mood.
Ask me about Automated Luxury Communism if you dare.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I once hosted two house-parties: one where I only invited my Friends and one where I only invited Couchsurfers from the region. To the first party half of my friends didn’t show up, nobody brought anything and everyone was in a lame mood
Needless to say it was a shitty party.

For the couchsurfing party the next weekend more people came than I had invited, a professional photographer, DJ and pastry chef showed up offering their services and people brought so much food I ended up having enough to feed myself for two weeks.
Needless to say it was one of the best parties I’ve ever had (and I host a lot of parties)

After all of this I’ve come to the conclusion that couchsurfers are better than Friends... so here we are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to fly. Oh and climbed Kilimanjaro, I guess. I also have a modeling contract with Domino’s Pizza and get paid in Pizza so that’s pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

Excellent at talking my way out of being arrested. I’ll share anything from life advice to skydiving tips (which in a certain sense is really be the same thing). If you manage to tell me something I haven’t heard or thought about before you will have my undivided attention.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ll set you up with fresh cooking experience and flood you with lots of traveling stories from around the world. I give horrible relationship advice but I’ll dive deep into fun conversations with my guests and give you the kind of trip I want other hosts to give me when I travel around.
