Hey, I’m Andi 👋 Originally from Austria, now based in Zürich, Switzerland where I work as an engineer in the defence industry. I really enjoy what I do, but when I’m not at work you’ll probably find me outdoors. Hiking in the mountains or playing a round of golf are my go-to ways to recharge.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in India (and keep going back 😅) – I love the culture, food, and the people I’ve met there. Traveling for me is less about ticking places off a list and more about making real connections along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is a chance to meet people beyond the tourist bubble. I believe we’re all equal here, sharing stories, laughs, and experiences. Whether it’s hosting or being hosted, I enjoy those small exchanges that make the world feel a little smaller and friendlier.
