About Me

Hi, I am primary teacher (German as second language), musician and songwriter from Switzerland. I play the cello and I sing. In the past years I had the honour of playing some amazing concerts and festivals with my former band. I gave (and still give) cello lessons, made studio experiences and did many live shows with different projects. Furthermore I love animals. For 10 years I lived nearby an horse stable, where I helped almost every day with the hypo therapy. I also learned how to ride and did some vaulting... Since I got my own dog I'm enthusiastic about dog training. And my lovely dog Lemmy is a good learner :) Until now I got five times the chance to leave Europe. First I spent 5 weeks in South Africa. That was an amazing experience. I worked as a volunteer with wild horses and I met so many nice people... Another time I was in New York and then I was in Bali for a few weeks. And the year 2019 I started with 6 weeks in the most beautiful country Ghana. I got married 2020 and in December 2023 I finally had the chance to travel to Nigeria and get to know my hubby‘s family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hosting people from all over the world, for me it's exciting to have nice company and interesting conversations. It's feels a bit like holidays even tough your home.

While travelling it is awesome to meet such generous people, CS definitely helps to keep believing in humanity. I made so many good experiences. Thank you couchsurfing!!! :)
