About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figure out where to go next

ABOUT ME

Let me see, I am young and I want to see the world with all the diversities there are. Until I started my around-the-world-travel (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA, Peru) I have never been outside of Europe. I just finished working in Bagamoyo, Tanzania, and am back home in Switzerland. At the moment I try to earn some money and then start a master-program somewhen and somewhere. I like to do sports, to take photos and to have a good talk with a friend. (I think that) I'm easy-going and like to experience new things (culture, activities, food, ...).

PHILOSOPHY

That's what I'm trying to find out and travel is a great way to do that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started participate (surfing couches and attending CS-meetings) when I travelled around the world in 2010. And now I'm still here trying to host/surf and meet more people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I took part in some couchsurfing-events in Sydney, San Francisco and Lucerne, met some other cool couchsurfers there with whom I'm still in contact and that became good friends. It's a great way of travelling and meeting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Night-swimming in a remote place in Tanzania in the Indian ocean which was full with bioluminescence-plancton. Everything around you starts to glow and glimmer while you are swimming. Crazy, Amazing, Unbelievable!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Although I'm not a professional, I can show you some things about photography, I cook a great risotto :-) and I teach tennis.
