About Me

CURRENT MISSION

setting up house in Zürich

ABOUT ME

I live with my husband Alex in Zürich – he's a highschool teacher and I'm a graphic designer; he's Swiss and I'm American (kind of) and Hungarian (kind of). We love cooking and have tried to set up a comfortable house where people feel welcome. We also enjoy exploring Zürich by bike and foot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been a member for quite a long time now. Mostly I host travellers, and sometimes meet and show people around. It's a small way to give back to an international world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting has been really fun. Normally when I travel I am lucky to have relatives to stay with, but now I've been venturing further and have had several nice experiences couch surfing.

Interests

Literature, art, hiking, biking, talking, hanging out.
