Hi, I'm Sharon :)

I'm currently studying social work in Switzerland and working in an NGO that is engaged in fighting prejudice and violence in all forms through workshops, events and political actions.
In my free time I like to craft, cook, be outdoors, go to cultural events or spend it with people I love. I'd describe myself as an uncomplicated, calm, creative and empathetic person.

I like soft people, vegan lasagna, poetry, building with mud, silence, olive oil, the sea and sitting around bonfires. I spend lots of time thinking about alternative living forms, gender, how to fight oppression and injustice and how sex education should be thought in schools.

looking forward to meet you! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because for me, discovering different ways of living and thinking is what makes traveling so interesting and precious. And because traveling shouldn't be a privilege but accessible to everyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking from my doorsteps in Switzerland to the sea in the South of France

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to share some time with people I meet during my trips. Also always up for conversations about how to make the world a better, kinder, more sustainable and inclusive place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to help in or around the house, cook and share a dinner together if you feel like it. At the same time I'm very independent and don't expect you to entertain me, so we'll just see what fits our plans :)
