Hello, Couchsurfing community!

I'm a 23-year-old mastermind (well, Master's student, to be exact) diving into the world of Circular Economy Management at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in the heart of Switzerland.

But life's not all about textbooks and theories for me. I'm an avid explorer at heart, with a penchant for wandering through the dense forests of California and Switzerland, losing myself in the pages of an engaging book, or constantly feeding my curiosity through an eclectic mix of online courses. 🤩

Travel, for me, is about more than just ticking places off a list; it's about immersing myself in new cultures, understanding diverse perspectives, and connecting with people from all walks of life.

On Couchsurfing, I'm looking to extend my journey beyond the places I visit, aiming to build lasting friendships and create meaningful memories. Whether it's through shared meals, long walks, or heartfelt conversations under the stars, I'm all about the rich, personal connections that travel enables. 🤗

Cheers! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have read a few books from some of my favorite authors who write fondly about their experiences with Couchsurfing, and I just fell in love with what I learned about this platform. I also want to start solo-traveling more while I'm still young just to learn more about the world and explore my interests, without having to wait for a friend to be available to come with me. That said, traveling alone could be lonely at times, and I'd love to have a friend wherever I visit so that a place will forever remind me of someone and their stories. Learning about a place from a local's perspective is something that I'd be beyond happy to do!
