About Me

ABOUT ME

Open-minded and fine explorer. Sometimes unconventional, let's-fix-that attitude towards many things. Live-and-let-live. For the past 7 years I've lived, studied and worked in Zürich, Switzerland. Now my girl friend and me are traveling for over half a year in our electric car. Check out www eexplorer life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

An old friend of mine was the first couch surfer in my home town. I joined in 2009 after hearing her stories. It's great to meet local people and to give something back to travelers.

Interests

I used to be involved in student politics / affairs. Generally, whatever outdoor/nature activity you propose, I'll be in :).

  • hiking
  • skiing
  • rock climbing
  • paragliding
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Bob Dylan, Freakonomics, Contact (Movie). Many more movies on my list, I'm hosting a very small (exclusive :)!) film festival in Zürich.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With an electric car through Central Asia (currently ongoing :)). After a couple of years of hard work, my girlfriend and I bought a Tesla Model S together. This car is our home for half a year now.
