About Me

I am laid-back, but always curious person, who loves to explore nature as much as I like to discover new cultures, listening to (live-)music and riding the motorbike. My job involves a lot of talking, explaining and discussing, so I like these things as well I guess :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I freshly started one of my lifelong dreams - to discover the USA on a Harley - which I will be doing from February to August 2016. Beside the stunning nature and the scenic drives of the US I'd like to meet locals on my trip, as it is a very important part of discovering a country altogether.

Interests

I listen to a lot of music, visit concerts and music festivals, drive motorbike, cycle, play Smolball (a sport invented in Switzerland), love good food and all sorts of beers (except light lager beer, has no taste in my opinion :-)) Beside that I enjoy discussions about life and politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

My (current) favourite music is Indie, Folk, Electro(Swing), Minimal Techno, European and American HipHop.
My favourite movies are definitely the ones made by Q. Tarantino or the Coen Brothers..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I Skydived or Bungee-jumped, but the most amazing thing was probably that I helped about 60 cows to give birth to their calves, while I was working on an irish farm as a 18 year old boy (and trying to learn English there :-))

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about the American way of living and local scenic drives, places to visit etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some of my favourite Swiss chocolate I brought with me :-)
And beside that I love to share opinions and discuss about (nearly) everything with a nice cup of coffee, haha
