About Me

Hi!
Hola! Hallo! Salut! Ciao!

I´m a 30 year old spanish-german architect currently living and working in Switzerland. Moved a few months ago for work. I love travelling, discovering new cultures and getting to know people and places. I´ve been living in Italy, Germany and Austria.
I´m friendly, open minded, responsible and the oldest of 6...with 5 younger sisters! :)
I live in a nice and sunny apartment some 5 min walk away from downtown.
I'm uncomplicated and like meeting new people and learn about different cultures and ways to see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent almost one month travelling trough Argentina, Chile, Brasil and Uruguay doing couchsurfing and I met the most wonderful people. It's actually them who made it possible.
That is why I am here.
Plus, my sister went to Brazil one year ago and did it via couchsurfing, so I also have her positive example :)
Right after joining I was given the chance of offering a place to stay to a long term traveller through South America and it was really interesting to learn from her!

Interests

I like reading, movies, sports, (recently started doing some nice mountain biking here) and going out when the weather is nice....oh, wait, its Switzerland, so most of the time its rainy and I can't :(

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen from classic music to heavy metal, so there will be little genres I dislike and many I still have to discover!
Movies, easy: From korean and indie films up to plain action movies. Still I must admit that I dislike gore and horror movies...
And regarding literature...well, mainly science fiction and fantasy plus some of the classics. Ah, and of course, design and architecture!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice stay, interesting conversation, a bit of sightseeing if the weather allows it and hopefully a positive experience for all. Please don't write if you only want a cheap place to stay overnight, its not cool and not quite the couchsurfing philosophy :/

Countries I’ve Visited
