About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover, Learn and Experience

ABOUT ME

Creative, open minded, coffee lover! I've traveled quite a lot but I haven't couch surfed yet and thought it would be great to experience something new! I talk too much, have strong opinions and love sharing different cluture experiences. I'm addicted to music, sang in a lot of choirs, played guitar and djembe. I can't get enough of culture, be it in movies, music, books or travel. My mum made me too romantic, my dad gave me his awful sense of humour.

PHILOSOPHY

Being an agnostic, I simply want to see a lot of different places, meet different people and enjoy human relationships. I'm heterosexual, love meeting all kinds of people and having a laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My room is sadly too small to accomodate anyone but I would gladly go drink coffee with you, make you visit Zurich or Fribourg depending on where I am at that moment and maybe show you a friendlier more interesting side to Switzerland :)
If it's winter, let's go skiing, and summer's the greatest time to swim in swiss lakes!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet but I'm traveling trough Europe in may and I'm hoping I'll be able to experience it then.

Interests
