About Me

🙋🏽‍♀️ 26 years old girl from Switzerland, speaks French, English, German and understands/speaks a bit of Italian and Spanish.
🎓 Got a Bachelor degree in human geography and environmental sciences. Currently working in online communications for a Swiss NGO fighting against human rights violations by multinationals.
🧨 An open minded conversation about politics, economics, spirituality, global challenges, social sciences, philosophy or art never bothers me.
💃🏽 On a slightly less intense note, I also love a good party, sunsets at the beach and chill time with friends. Yeah.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🔎 To meet people who share the same passion for travelling, from various backgrounds and countries, who can tell me about their ways and maybe make friends for life, who knows (#nopressure). I basically just love humans and there are some great ones on Couchsurfing !

Interests

🏝 I love travelling, discovering new places, ways of living and people: I've been lucky enough to travel a lot around Europe and Australia, and am looking forward to the many other travels I hope to be doing in my lifetime !
🧘🏽‍♀️ I also like photography, oil painting, writing, meditation, yoga, horse riding, volleyball, walks in rainforests and swimming in the ocean. Getting lost in the middle of nowhere with nothing but an empty, endless horizon line and my eyes to see. That last one is pure magic.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎼 Music is a must, which type just depends on the mood & place ! From 60s/80s classics when cleaning up to hardcore techno when I feel the urge to move, along with pop for the summer memories, rock & metal to study, reggae to appreciate life, French classics to laugh, rap whenever (it’s just too good) and jazz for a cozy rainy afternoon...
📽 Two things: horror movies are always a no and How I Met Your Mother is always a yes. The rest, I leave up to you!
📚 I love to read. It can be about really various topics, Greek mythology, Arabian tales, French literature, economical and political criticism, fiction, spirituality & personal development books, novels, thrillers... Obviously haven’t got time for all at the same time but still trying eheh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🧚🏽‍♀️ Moving to Australia, a one month backpacking trip in Eastern Europe, falling (in love) & discovering (myself).

Teach, Learn, Share

🌄 As I've lived in Switzerland for 20 years and went to most of its places (well-known or hidden gems!), I know a few useful tips if you plan on travelling or living there :)
👩🏽‍🏫 I’ve also got the CELTA, which means that I can professionally teach you English, and I tell jokes so terrible they’ll make you laugh anyway. You’re welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

☀️ Energy and good vibes ! I’d be more than happy to take you out for drinks or to go to interesting see sights if we have time.
