About Me

ABOUT ME

I would say...easy going, respectful, honest, hate to be inactive and always have plans for the next day, sometimes a bit shy but always interested in meeting people and being with friends. I love city life (going out, dancing, go to watch a movie or live music or a photo exhibition, zigzag between the cars with my bike or my skateboard, BBQs in the parks, etc) but I alway need to escape in the mountains (better with my skis or my bike!), or to plan the next trip (better if it's a surf trip)!

PHILOSOPHY

"y'a pas le feu au lac!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

testing if it works :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a couple of places in Spain and South America, and hosted a bit too. I can say that I like this way of travelling!

Interests

sports in general, especially freeride and freestyle skiing, rock climbing, surfing, downhill bike, skateboarding, beachvolleyball, ice-hockey, etc.

cinema (i work for a cinema association), dancing, guitar playing and music listening. Rock&roll, reggae, electronic, rap, anything, as long as it's good!

in summer, I like to go swimming in the lake close to my home, then stay by the water, play a little beachvolleyball and drink beers with some friends. and in winter, to go freeride skiing with buddies, then have a good fondue and drink good wine in a warm chalet! (yeah I know it's cliche!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in prison for... one day! But don't' be scared, I'm not a murderer, I just refused to serve in the army, which is still compulsory in Switzerland!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach ski and snowboard (and apres-ski), a bit of guitar, I love to learn new langages, and couchsurfing is just perfect to practise!
