About Me

I’m a warm, friendly person who loves meeting new people and sharing experiences. I enjoy lively conversations about a wide range of topics—especially history and geographical facts. My friends would describe me as someone who always looks out for others and pays attention to the little details. I’m always up for a good time, whether it’s exploring a new city or enjoying a meal together.

I’m a spontaneous traveler who rarely makes plans and prefers to decide on the spot what to do or eat. I believe that this makes for the most authentic and enjoyable travel experiences, and I love connecting with locals to learn more about their culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf on Couchsurfing because I truly enjoy meeting new people and having authentic experiences. Traveling with locals is the best way to explore a place, and I always enjoy sharing stories, food, and good times with fellow travelers.

Interests

When I’m not playing korfball or exploring new cities, I’m learning Japanese. I’m also passionate about history, and I love sharing interesting facts with others. I’m an outdoor enthusiast, so you’ll often find me walking through the streets of a new city or swimming in the Rhine here in Basel.
