CURRENT MISSION

Learn constantly, discover new lands, new people.

ABOUT ME

I'm 32 years old, I studied jazz and played the accordion professionnally, then as I wasn't making enough money and was also fond of driving weird engines, I started working for the swiss railway as a locomotive driver. I also love planes and am currently passing the licence. I started thru-hiking long distance trails.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My occupation permit me to travel a lot these days, but I'm happy to host anytime I can. I have plenty of place and since my work is quite solitary, I enjoy social activities in my free time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been living with two roomates in Lausanne for the past 5 years, and we hosted a lot. Then I moved to Fribourg and less people wanted to be in this city. Now I am back in Lausanne to work before my next thru-hiking adventure.
