ABOUT ME

i'm a curious and open-minded hedonist who loves meeting new people, learning about different cultures and places and languages. ;) I'm constantly wanderlusting. I sometimes wish my life was a musical so I could randomly break out in song whenever I feel like it and people would just join in. :P

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not quite local not quite stranger, either I'm a local stranger or a strange local. :)

When life deals you lemons, make orange juice and leave the rest of the world wondering how the hell you did it.

Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.

Four things that will not come back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life and the neglected opportunities.

What really keeps me from getting what I want is not knowing what i REALLY want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently not surfing myself, but I think it's a great way to meet locals who can tell and show you the secrets spots or just some of their personal favorites of the place they call their home.
I'm not the best bet when it comes to hosting, cause I'm away myself fairly often, but you can always try me.

NOTE: I only host people with their profiles filled out completely, I would at least like to have somewhat of an idea of whoever's coming to stay at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in South America, Germany and the US and hosted in Basel and Zurich...the people I met through couchsurfing are all amazing and some I consider good friends now!!! ;)...I'm looking forward to meeting many more amazing people

Interests

well...where to begin:

traveling (duh!) and anything related to it...discovering new places, cultures, languages, etc.etc.

music...i don't actively make music myself (unless you count singing in the car or shower) i certainly could not live without it, not even for a day. i love going to concerts and music festivals and there's constantly music on when i'm home or in my car or on the train or wherever

food...mostly the eating, but i do enjoy cooking myself every now and then. I'm from a foodie family (my mom and my brother are both chefs :). And of course a good glass of wine and or beer are important companions for a perfect meal :P

i have loads more interests, but i guess those are the top 3. :) and I'm always open to discover interests I didn't know I had :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's definitely more than one.

Salar de Uyuni

Flying in a two-seat plane around the alps.

Quad biking in Lençois Maranhenses / Brazil

Snorkelling with seals in South Africa

And the list goes on and on...

Teach, Learn, Share

teach: any of the languages I know...particularly Swissgerman. :P

learn: anything you're willing and able to teach me! :)

share: a lot! i guess...anything i know...mostly travel adventures and airport anecdotes...random trivia facts...and whatever else comes to my mind.
