I recently moved to Bern from Lausanne. I am happy to play amateur tour guide in Switzerland! I spend my weekdays writing papers about plants & water in Burkina Faso and my weekends and evenings climbing, hiking, and ski touring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to know what to tell, perhaps ask me about fixing a bike with Calatropis leaves? Or living in the house of a wolof king's ghost?

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not sure what goes here - but I am happy to teach about Switzerland - learn about your adventures, particularly if they involve bikes or feet - and share some food and recipes?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a place to sleep, a warm shower, clean linens, soap, food and maybe even some transportation.
