About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get out of my comfort zone!

ABOUT ME

My kids like me. So does my cat. So... I guess that means I'm likable, but also never really alone. I hope to change that a bit. Last year I decided to go dancing in all the clubs in Zurich, Switzerland, that were not obviously for teenagers. That was fun, but I got distracted along the way. So now I'm not sure if I should pick up where I left or find another goal... Also, I want to start training seriously for the next belt in JuJitsu (orange) but am still a bit lazy after winter. And pick up boldering again in April, as soon as it isn't freezing cold here.

PHILOSOPHY

The universe is just what it looks like: there. Don't worry too much about it, because being human is way more important than transcendental knowledge... We are all social animals that react to our environment and are thus obligated to creating an environment others will find pleasant too. Don't be an asshole. Oh, and always be yourself - unless you can be a unicorn, then always be a unicorn!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't really house couch-surfers at the moment, since I am currently staying in the guest room of my house.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been a while since I have couchsurfed. But I used to twelve years ago when I had a two hour commute one way into the middle of nowhere. I never thought much about it, so I don't really remember much. Hm. Time to become more aware!

Interests

I'm interested in people, their stories, the music they like and the food they eat. I like to dance, to read and to talk. I am interested in philosophy, science and computers.
