ABOUT ME

I am a lively young woman who loves to travel and speak other languages. I have spent a year in England (High School) and a semester in Paris. I am very interested in questions/problems of society - that's probably why I have studied what I've studied and also why for a long time I was an active member in the Amnesty International Students Group in Basel as well as coordinator of beraber, an association that helps foreign children finding private teachers in order to faciliate their integration in Switzerland :-)
But not all of my live is about making this world a better place, don't worry - I also love to do sports (Kickpower, endurance training, Tae Bo), dance (mainly Drum&Bass), go to the theatre&cinema etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and I use it myself. When you come to my apartment you should feel free and be quite independent because I'm a very busy person and might not have too much time to spend with you. We can go out or drink a coffe, though, and I'll explain you where you must go to see the hot spots of Basel :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Lettland and Estonia and met very nice couchsurfers.
