Hi! I'm a Swiss student that fell in love with travelling. I am currently in South America for 4 months starting in French Guyana to end in Argentina

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first joined couch surfing because I was not using my room at University much so I thought it could benefit other people travelling through my city. But my city is not very touristic, so I wasn't much active and kind of forgot about it.
Now I'm planning a trip to Australia and I thought it would be a good opportunity to have a second start with couchsurfing.

Interests

I love traveling, sport and nature. I especially enjoy arriving in a place where I don't know anybody because that is actually the kind of situation where we meet the most people

• traveling
• surfing
• sports
• teaching
• volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to all kind of music but I especially like older stuff to listen for myself. I have quite something for jazz at the moment

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it is amazing but that was by far the best experience I had in a long time. I joined a volunteering project in my university and we basically spent one month in a small village in Nicaragua as English teachers. That was a fantastic experience because Nicaragua is such a wonderful country and the people we met there were incredibly kind and friendly. It was also great because I taught the pupils as much English as they were teaching me Spanish, it was more a friendship than an actual teacher-pupil relationship. I don't remember most of the Spanish I learned though

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages because they allow us to meet and share with people so different from what we know from home. I have a funny story involving naked old men in a Japanese public bath and why languages are important

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have travelled quite a lot, but I don't consider myself the kind of guy who knows so much about the world. But I can share my enthusiasm for many things and especially nature and its beauties
