About Me

ABOUT ME

I LOVE to travel to foreign Countries, meet new people and discover other cultures. I also love to go Skiing and Snowboarding in the winter months and to go scuba diving while travelling. Yoga is also something I really enjoy doing.

I love nature and all animals.

I like to sit together with nice people (and a beer or some wine) and talk about all kind of philosophical or just random topics (would you rather be a ninja or a mermaid?) until it gets confusing and weird.

I eat chocolate every day and I am addicted to coffee.
And I feel oddly connected to Orang-Utans

I hope this is enough information for you to trust me and share your home. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed before in Thailand Johannesburg and since I just love the Idea behind it, I would love to gain more experiences.

I would love to host surfers in my shared apartment in Basel, but we are four flatmates, and are not always able to host people.

Interests

I love to travel (of course) and I really like skiing and snowboarding in the winter. I love to do Yoga and I wish I would do it more often. I started rockwall climbing which I also enjoy very much and I am hoping to keep doing it and getting better at it. I love the ocean and scuba diving and snorkelling, and I tried surfing a couple times which I found super cool (but also pretty scary) and I really want to do it more often whenever there's an opportunity (since Switzerland isn't really the place to go surfing)
I love to have good times and talks with friends but I also enjoy reading all sorts of stuff or watching Series (Girls and Modern Family are my favorites at the moment :) )

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of Music, it just depends on my mood. I most often listen to some alternative stuff (at the Moment I am just in love with Alt-J, but muse is always on top as well) Often I just listen the same songs over and over again until I get sick of them, I am sure you know this feeling. I also enjoy "World Music" (which is a stupid word to use) in Réunion I really started liking Maloya and it's always cool to listen to the music from the country you're staying or travelling. When I go out I like Electro and when I am working on papers for my University, classical music is the real deal for me.
I like Movies even though I don't watch too many, but a movie night with friends is always fun. I just don't seem to be able to remember the story lines...
Books are awesome! But since I have to read so much for my university classes I mostly read during the holidays and when I am travelling. I love Harry Potter and I hope you do too :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Orang-Utans in wild nature in Sumatra and Kalimantan!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eager to learn all kinds of new stuff! I've been trying to learn how to whistle with my fingers for years, so if you would be able teach me that, you are basically a genius.
I also love to learn some sentences in any language, and I can teach you some German and Swiss German.
