My name is Leo, I‘m a curious student of life and love to travel, meet new people and experience the unexpected, wherever it may wait.

In my free-time I love doing sports, being in nature, hanging out with friends and family, reading philosophy, sociology and science books, listening to podcasts, journaling and working on sustainable projects through an ngo (Arbor Mundi) that I founded with a friend.

I‘m very open to new events and people and want to gain new experiences and meet new people and get to know their culture and perspectives.
I like animals a lot, at home we have a dog and live in a rural village but very close to a bigger city (St. Gallen).

Favorite quote: If you live guided by love, courageously and truthfully than you can have the adventure that justifies the suffering of your existence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a place where you learn that most people in this world are good and find joy in helping others. It helps us forming lifelong friendships and bonds across physical or cultural boundaries. Couchsurfing educates you, it challenges you and it might even help you to get to know yourself better.
Couchsurfing for me means adventure, friendship, giving and receiving and I‘m very greatful that it exists.

Traveled 5 weeks with couchsurfing through western europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that everyday and from everybody you can learn something new and you'll defenitely never finish learning. I enjoy it to share my visions and ideas with open people and to have meaningful discussions that can bring both parties a little further.

More: Cooking, doing a workout together, teaching languages or the guitar, showing around the city, recommending places, organizing great hiking trips and parties

What I Can Share with Hosts

Joy, knowledge, great conversations and experiences. I‘m ready to offer my help if needed and used to household or garden work. I‘m a quite acceptable cook too:)
