I'm 36 years old, quit my job in March 2017 and travelled across Asia before heading to South America in October 2018. Currently back home in Switzerland and now visiting the Netherlands. I'm a so called Digital Nomad, earning my money as a Journalist. To finance my trips I write articles and make up stories. I think I'm funny, pretty easy to talk to, relaxed, independent and flexible. Some of my hobbies are reading, hiking, playing games, watching movies, running and of course drinking beer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not really for sleepovers rather to find people to hang out with.

Interests

I am pretty open minded I'd say. Sometimes I just want to stay at a beach reading a book, sometimes I like to go out drinking a beer. For that I rather go tu pubs then clubs because I like talking to people which is difficult when the music is too loud. I really like hiking and try to explore new places by foot, although I prefer hiking in nature over hiking in the city. While travelling I don't really do running because I don't have the necessary equipment with me but I intend to change that soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like pop, rock, soul, jazz, blues; sometimes even electro. Some of my favorite artists are Queen, Katy Perry, Abba, Leonard Cohen, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Cash, Elton John, Adele, Beyonce.
Movies: I like all kind of movies, except horror. Some of my favourites are Jachten, The broken cirle, Groundhog day, 12 angry men, Whiplash, Walk the Line, The Dark Knight, Carnage, V for Vendetta, Lord of the Rings.
But as series tend to get better, I like watching them even more. Like Game of Thrones, How I met your Mother, Newsroom, How to make a Murderer, Narcos, Seinfeld. My favorite TV-Show is The West Wing
Books: Right now I dig all kind of fantasy books but I also like thrillers, biographys and historical fiction. Some of my favourite authors are John Steinbeck, Arthur Miller, Steven King, Dostojewski, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Jo Nesbo, Charles Dickens.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled in Russia for three months and managed to speak the language as bad as when I entered the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what couchsurfing wants to hear from me here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, thoughts, wits, whatever. I just like talking with people, sharing ideas. I also always look for travel buddies therefore if someone wants to join me a while that's great. I rather do stuff not alone therefore if my host wants to go hiking or drink a beer with me, I'm happy to invite him/her.
