Hi, my name is Sam and i'm from switzerland. I just finished with my civil service and plan to travel as far as i can get, as long as i can :) i'm a so-called scanner person, meaning that i'm interested in a hell lot of things and mostly switching from one thing to the next quite fast. at the moment i'm writing a book :)
i enjoy sports like jogging, biking, skating, snowboarding, nordic skiing and hiking. i absolutely love nature. i meditate often and i'm interested in this thing we call "life". this is also the reason i search for mind-expanding experiences all the time (like meeting new people ;) )
i like to cook my own food and i only eat animal free food (but i eat 'em plants alive! grrr). when i'm able i grow my own food and tend a garden.
i like music and making music. i play the guitar and i'd love to understand the theory behind music so i could just jam with others and for myself. sometimes, i'll surely learn that!
i read at all times possible and i also like to talk to others on their view and interpretations of books, but also movies and experiences :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because i'd love to meet new people from all over the world, and connect with locals. I'd really like to exchange stories, experiences and insights, play games, explore and have a lot of fun with you guys :)

Traveling through Cambodia without a plan and living from one moment to the next!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and i'm pretty experimental about it, trying so many different styles and dishes. so i could prepare you some great food!

I'm a very curious and knowledge-seeking person and i read alot about topics such as: Meditation, Food, Nutrition, Health, Psychology, Spirituality, Awareness etc. plus i really love fiction and novels and good movies, so if you like to talk about such things (or anything else actually) we could have a great discussion :)

I'm also a really good listener, and interested in others experiences; i love learning about what people do :)

I play the guitar, so we could make some music.

Besides all this i'm also very self-reliant and i enjoy time spent alone, so if you need some time for yourself as well i will not have a problem with that at all.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Cambodia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden, United States
