ABOUT ME

I am European of origins but was born and raised in Switzerland.
I am spontaneous, smiling and like helping others. Moreover, you can see my latin genes as I talk (with my hands, si si) and laugh often. Okay, most of the time.
I also enjoy doing sport, of any kind. I had several severe accidents at the spine and had to stop practicing judo, one of my greatest passions. But I enjoy doing water sports (sailing, kayaks, swimming) or team sports (volleyball, football/soccer). I am also a snowboard teacher. I run and cycle several times a week and loce sharing that with other people/friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I am latin: carpe diem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cannot host and won't be able for a pretty long time. I try to do my best at helping travellers passing by.

Interests

I like arts, history and I enjoy spending time in museums. I also like photography and tend to do some myself.
What I enjoy the most is learning new languages. I speak fluently four languages (French, English, Italian and German) and can handle things in some others.

I like sharing meals with people. Because I like eating and I like talking around a hot dish.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like folk music, but my tastes change regularly.
Switzerland is a great place for music and arts festivals. There is at least one per month somewhere in the area. So I spend most of my time volunteering or enjoying festival!

I am also a film addict. I am a huge fan of the producer Luc Besson (FR) and tend not to like action and sci-fi movies. Except the 5th element, of course ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Teaching French and English in a college in Torino (Italy),
- participating at the Koelner Karneval 2015,
- travelling alone,
- woofing,
- hiking alone without material in Luosto national parc (Finland),
- spending 24h within the team of paramedics,

... more to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, history, jokes... Ask me and I can find! :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good cook (half French & half Italian blood) and love helping. Just ask if you need!
Depending on your tastes, I can also bring you some Swiss specialties (chocolate, cheese, alcohol).
