About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to live and work in Latin America!

ABOUT ME

Well, I don't have a very extroverted personality but I'm quite a nice person if you know me better. I live with my wife and two sons (3 and 8years old) near Zurich, Switzerland. In 2001 I had the chance to learn Spanish during two months in Cancun, Mexico and since then I’m fascinated by Latin America and its culture. In 2004 I stayed 7 months in Bolivia (La Paz and Cochabamba) and also did a short visit to Chile and Peru. In 2011 I had the chance to visit Costa Rica. My personal dream is to open a small business somewhere in the Caribbean, so if you’re interested to join me, drop me a message ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

«No es más feliz quien más tiene, sino quien menos necesita»

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a room for travellers available and also take the chance to stay on a couch when I travel arround.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had my first CouchSurfing experience together with my wife while travelling in Costa Rica.

Interests

When I have time I love to cook dishes from around the world, and while preparing I love to listen to some Latin Sounds. Also I like to read a good book or watching movies. I'm also very interested in the Political and Economic Changes in Latin America so I'm surfing the internet to stay up to date.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to watch movies, and it doesn't matter if it is a drama or a horror flick as long as it is good.
I like Latins Sounds like Bachata, Salsa, Merengue,
Rancheras, Banda, Mariachi... unfortunatly I don't know to dance :-(
I also like Oldies and Swing (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin...)
