About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the travel spirit in my everyday life = give myself a reason to smile everyday !

ABOUT ME

What my personality is concerned, my friends would probably describe me as a reliable and loyal friend, down to earth, always curious to learn new things and meet new people, and with whom you can just have a good time with.

When it comes to what I do in life, generally speaking I'm a very active person, I hardly get the chance to get bored in my life - rather there isnt enough time to do all the things I would love to do or try out:)

PHILOSOPHY

Step by step you can reach every goal

Every day is a chance to improve yourself

Live in the present, not the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Living with my best friend in Lausanne, we hosted a couple of couch surfers during the course of our studies:-) In Geneva, even though having had a small apartment i regularly hosted surfers which was always great fun. I surfed for a few long weekends while working and now extensively on my trip through Russia.

Interests

Where should I start:

I love sports. I practice myself basketball since I'm 14 years old - and I love to watch Icehockey. I'm fan of Ambri - a tiny village in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland.

I love travelling - for info check the travelling part:-)With this comes the passion for exploring new cultures and learning languages. Russia and Russian are still the ones that captured me the most. And travelling helps me to understand myself.

I like art - I'm not very talented myself - but I like to go to art exhibition - mainly photography.

If that doesn't occupy me enough - I meet up with friends for drinks or bbq's, read books, study, dream...
