About Me

Hello! After many years on the road and at sea I'm finally back in my home country and settled down in Neuchâtel. Let me know if you need help around here. Fair winds to all travelers, Gilles

Interests

Bikes, the ones with no engine.
Boats, the ones with sails.
Mountains, with or without snow.
Politics, especially the ones that need to be changed.
And fine food as well! :-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling and sailing from China to Antarctica.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to sail if you dare to go into the cold lake of Neuchâtel in winter!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a bamboo mat in a warm living room. There is no couch yet so you'll have to bring your mat and sleeping bag for more comfort. I live in the pedestrian zone of Neuchâtel and you'll find stores and bike repair shops nearby. Please call me Gillo in your message so that I know you've read my profile. I may not answer your request otherwise, thanks for your understanding! :-)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil, China, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland
