If I had to describe myself with three words, I'd probably choose curious, social and food. I like learning new things and discussing a broad variety of topics. I like spending time meeting new people. And I like eating and trying local food.

When travelling, like doing off-the-beaten track things and would prefer a BBQ with locals over visiting the main square of a city.

Fun Fact: Because Army Service is mandatory in Switzerland, I spent half a year in the Swiss army.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met long-time friends through this platform. It's a place where I can find amazing, open-minded people that want to explore.

Interests

I'm interested in a variety of topics from philosophy, technology over self-improvement to financial markets, politics as well as beer (I've brewed my own) and like to engage in all kinds of discussions.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read mostly non-fiction. Currently carrying the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin around on my e-reader.

Unfortunately my memory proofed unsuitable for movies. When I watch a movie, I tend to quickly forget its plot. So not really any clear favorites there. The advantage is that I can watch them over and over and still be surprised every time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Asked a Riksha driver in Bangladesh whether I could drive him around in his Riksha. Got covered in a local online newspaper as probably the first foreign person to drive a Riksha in Bangladesh.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A piece of Swiss culture, humour, stories and hopefully new views on the world! I'm often armed with Swiss chocolate too.
