My name is Chris, I am a professional translator, interpreter, but also a passionate singer & musician (esp. guitar & piano piano). I love travelling & meeting people of all cultures. My native languages are Italian & German & I am fluent in English, French (my 4 "working languages" as translator & interpreter, and I can also communicate in Spanish.

I live in the heart of Zurich (4 stops by tram from Zurich main station), and I'd be glad to offer you a place to stay in my 3-bedroom apartment (in my living room I have a couch), while you're staying in Zurich. If you are interested and I am not too busy with work, it would be my pleasure to show you around the place here and also to cook for you (since I always cook for my self, it is perfectly ok, to cook also for you). If you like riding a bike, I'd be glad to take you for a spin in the Zurich area even on my cool Honda Shadow! ;-) And don't worry, I'm a very cautious and experienced driver! ;-D

If you love music, maybe you could check out my artistic website: www.christianlacava.ch
Since I'm also an actor, you can even find a short movie on it! ;-)

I'm looking forward to meeting you! :-)
