Hi I'm Gal :)
I'm an artist, scout, student (still what I do for a living), and a lot more! Hopefully I can be your friend ! 🌌

I'm very artistic, from videomaking, to painting to theater I'm always doing my best to keep art in my life :)

I also love dancing! If the music is good it's hard to take me away from the speakers... (you can see my playlists yourself, I'm finestbakery on Spotify)

I like to create videos of what I'm doing, you can see them here: https://www.youtube.com/c/finestbakery - I hope you like them! (the oldest are in Italian, the newest in English)...

Also, I am double vaxxed 🏥!

For some reason I sometimes don't get notifications from your messages, if I don't respond (and/or you're in a hurry) try to reach me out on instagram (@finestbakery)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was born and raised in Switzerland in a family of artists, I usually had guests at home from a young age, even if unknown, I always appreciate the possibility of meeting new and interesting people worldwide! That's why I'm joining this beautiful community! 🐝

I believe that visiting a different city and a different culture from the eyes of someone that is immerged in it can actually significantly improve how much you know about that place and city, compare to just staying on your own...

Music, Movies, and Books

I absolutely love disco and funk music, especially Daft Punk and Parcels. I'm obsessed now with Connan Mockasin and Remi Wolf :)
They inspired me and a friend of mine to create Lux Crowley, a character that is producing more and more music! I will not refuse some pop jams or even some techno tho (for more: finestbakery on Spotify!)
I also love dancing and going to clubs! If the music is good you will find me pasted to the speakers jamming 🕺‍

My favorite movie is The Truman Show, since I was a kid I was sure that I was in a tv series, that movie was a mystical experience because of that. You should also check Parasite (from Korea) and Everything Everywere All at Once, the're probably the best movies ever made, if you don't believe me, we should watch them!

My favourite books have to be Jonathan Livingston Seagull and the Little Prince, I read them every time in a few years and the meaning for me keeps changing... We should all read them once every few years!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2021 I hichhiked from Switzerland, allowing my destination to be determined by the people giving me rides, and based on the rides I got I ended up in Otranto (Apulia)! An amazing experience!
I did it again in 2023 and also had a blast (I got to Molise) ☀️

When I was 15 I almost falled from the biggest cascade in my region (le Cascate del Foroglio, 110m tall). Not my proudest moment.

I can (when I am trained enough) also run for 25-30km :) (the complete marathon is on the way)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play the ukulele or some Italian :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

It would be nice to know you (and I can make you try my veggie and mediterranean recepies ^^)

If you need to practice some languages that I know, I will be glad to help you!

I am not here to date or do anything in that direction. Please consider this when asking and/or accepting me 👀
In situations like CS, the person hosting is in a position of power, to me nobody should abuse that.
