About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet you

ABOUT ME

I'm a young Architect living in Basel. I like art and architecture. I practice photography and love to walk around in the city. I like live music, although I play no instrument. I often go to concerts, and to cafes where i can ear some.
There is also a surprisingly good club scene in Basel, a mix of good german music n a very high quality swiss environnement. Some of the best clubs in the world are here...

If you come and visit us in summer, I really enjoy chilling by rhe Rhein and take a dive in the river. It's a swiss speciallity and really worth trying

I'm now travelling with Jasmin, cute Swiss German girl i love. We've been travelling together for a little while and till now it's been awesome. You can find her profile in my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is a matter of balance, if you find yours, you'll be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet new people. I've experienced CS for several years now and from my point of view, surfing is the best way to meet a country, and hosting is the best way to stay travelling all year long as foreigners bring some hollydays feeling with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at jens shleisher's in BerlinI stayed at DOPY's in AngersI stayed at Boris Quennehen's in ClermontI stayed at Alexandre Villeneuve's in AngersI stayed at Marlies' in AmsterdamI stayed at Frank's in AmsterdamI hosted John MaidmanI hosted LucyI hosted YannAnd all that was awsome!

And then i stoped counting...

I loved all my CS experiences and i am definitly not done with this website!

Interests

I practise some forms of art, and I love to discover others. I 've been practicing photography for several years, digital and non-digital. I often go to concerts, or to cafes, I like very much theatre, and going to shows. I practice rollerskating, swiming, running and some mountain bike when I am in the countryside.
