ABOUT ME
Currently living in Zurich, Switzerland.
I believe I'm open minded and interested in many topics. I enjoy being active these days. I like to do stuff like scuba diving, paragliding, hiking, snowboarding, ...
PHILOSOPHY
I like to have a good time and experience many new things, which means I try to move myself out of my comfort zone often.
I used to live an urban lifestyle back at home but I enjoy more and more the nature.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I think its a great way to get to know the local culture wherever you go and to make new friends.
For Hosting, I like to hear other travel stories and it makes me feel like i'm travelling. Like to show the actual culture in switzerland.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had my first couchsurfing experience in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, probabaly one of the more exotic couches around. It was amazing! I got introduced to a big family and made many new friends, stayed in a hut in a small village and cooked a traditional italian meal on fire. Since then I try to couchsurf often and made so far only very positive experiences.After returning home and having a place to host, I started hosting in Zurich and like it aswell ;-)
