Hi, I'm Daniel! I'm a guy with Catalan and German roots living in Switzerland, where I just finished my studies at ETH in the area of power electronics. Right now I'm taking some time off to travel before I start working at a robotics startup in Zürich.
I love everything related to the mountains, especially skiing and ski touring as well as hiking, but I am always open for other sports. Also I have been playing the violin and viola for many years in an ensemble. Whenever I get the opportunity I love to explore new places, not only around the world but also in my beautiful home country!
Random other things I love apart from that include art, techno raves, electronics, burger restaurants, craft beers, operas, power walking, my drone and lots of other stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get the full local experience and just meet interesting people to have conversations with who maybe want to share some insider tips! Especially when you're solo traveling it's a great way to connect to the place you're visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to keep it diverse with my music! Country music to sing along to in the car, a hard techno or DnB set to get pumped, live classical music in the opera or a concert hall and so much more.

Four totally unrelated movies I absolutely love: Match Point, Gladiator, Amadeus and High School Musical (Go Wildcats!)

Unfortunately I didn't have time to read a lot lately (apart from technical literature :) ), but I enjoy classical literature as well as non-fiction books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked 40% of Zürich's streets!
Did two 800km solo bike rides!
Cycled 210km on a single day on a city bike!
Spent a whole season skiing enjoying the famous champagne powder in the Rockies!

Teach, Learn, Share

We can always share languages and talk about things we're interested in. Life is a learning process!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Have a swell time, enjoy a meal and a beer and show you my perspective of the world! Teaching you the joy of skiing could be a bit harder to accomplish :)
