About Me

I'm quite calm and easygoing i guess. I study Agronomy, which is a really big interest of me, plants especially, but I also like other things like pretty stones, wine, music, dancing, farofa, talking, reading, politics, singing, i like being in the mountains for snowboarding or ski tours or hikes, araucarias, card games and mangos. Then there are things that I just do without knowing if I like or dislike them, or both, like working or brushing my teeth. Almost always I breathe. I work in a bar in Zurich, where sometimes we can drink during work, which is cool. Also, don't take me too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the way you meet people and places through Couchsurfing. I would always rather visit a home of a person and get to know him or her a little bit better than staying at a fancy hotel. It is so much more interesting :) Also, I'm happy to show around anyone that is interested or needs help and like to share my experiences.

Interests

I'm a really social person, so I often hang out with friends or just people in general. I like doing sports, reading, lately I sometimes write a bit, I like going to concerts and clubs or just stay home with some wine and play card games with my roommates.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Fenster, John Maus, Febueder, Dorian Electra, Fleetwood Mac, Mac DeMarco, Childish Gambino, Peaking Lights,KAYTRANADA, Harumi Hosono, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Lauren Hill, and much much more. Also recently I discovered Theremin Music, it is so great and so weird!
Books: A thousand splendid suns, kite runner, bedrohte Saat, to kill a mocking bird, der geliebte der mutter, dürrenmatt (author, all his books), room, die dunkle seite des mondes, little bee, angela's ashes, vrenelis gärtli, la rossa, gomorrha, biography of Marina Abramovic and mooore
Movies: Stanley Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Oliver Stone and mooore

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try not to fly so much anymore, that's why I really like going with the train or ferry. In 2017 i went from Zürich all the way to Bishkek in Kyrkyzstan with the Trans-Siberian Railway. It was incredible because I met a lot of people and saw a lot of places I would never have imagined. It felt so real and unplanned and free, I will never forget it for sure.

Teach, Learn, Share

In the past few months I did an internship near Curitiba, Brazil. I worked in a seeds house, which was really impressive and cool. I'm interested in organic agriculture, food and agricultural politics and systems and it is insane what I was able to learn about it in Brazil. I'm eager to learn more, enthusiastic to share my experiences, and happy to teach (whatever it will be)!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always happy to cook and help you with anything. I can tell you funny stories, mostly they involve something embarrassing I did or that happened to me. I'm a good listener and love having long conversations. Also I'm surprisingly strong, which is why I can carry you on my back if needed ;)
