About Me

I'm a computer science student from Zurich. I spend a lot of time tinkering at side projects. When not learning for university or working at a fun project, I'm most likely learning a language (currently Chinese), reading a book or meeting friends.

When travelling, I love meeting new people, learning about other cultures and discover amazing places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet other people from different places. It also makes travelling affordable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I've participated twice at IOI, International Olympiad in Informatics, a programming competition in algorithmic problem solving

- I went for 2 months to China to improve my Chinese, while attending at a summer school. It was great meeting a lot of new people, explore very different, huge cities and emerging in a different culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything about programming, if you are interested in it.

I'm also finding myself often in a interesting discussion around technology or politics, so if you love sharing a discussion, I'm very open for that.

Also I can teach you German. And as a bonus: If you already mastered German, I can speak Swiss German, which is even for native German speakers hard to understand.
