About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the World!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel around the world, meeting new amazing people and visiting different places. When not traveling, I'm probably trying to make some money again to go abroad or in some cases I might actually be studying to finish my MBA degree...
Currently I'm doing an exchange semester at the University of Tulsa, Oklahome, for one semester.
In my free time I enjoy doing sports. I have a flare for hiking & climbing but I'm usually game for anything other than soccer.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love to do cause you only live once!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couch surfing and unfortunately I didnt manage to host anyone before going to the States but hopefully I meet here some fellow CoachSurfers. As soon as I am back in Zurich my apartment will be open for hosting again.

Interests

Travelling: I just love to travel, especially off the beaten track. It really is best way to get to know a country and the people that live in it.
Meeting new people: Always a pleasure, especially when traveling.
Climbing & Hiking: One of my favorite free time activities back home. In case u are interested in either of it and I have time, I may be able to show u some cool hikes/climbes in the alps.
Photography: I have a Nikon D90 and I love to take pictures with it, experiment, trying to get the most out of every shot. Unfortunately I usually only find time when traveling.

Music: Broad interest, really depends on the mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the migration in Serengheti, drove zigzag with a boat in the open sea as one of the engines exploded, was wildwater rafting just under the victoria falls, saw the sunset in namibia from the supposedly highes dune there while freezing and surounded by fog, was driving on the wrong side of the street in Australia, saw 7 people on a motorcycle in Vietnam...But there is still so much more out there to experience...!
