About Me

Dear fellow Couchsurfer who reads these lines, I've been trying to think of something interesting to write about myself. No clever ideas so far I'm afraid. Worse, it made me hungry ! haha
Ok but apart from being a food-loving human being I guess one could say I'm a curious human being too. I believe that challenging yourself to get out of your comfort zone and daily routines is the best way to keep an open heart and mind and to learn about yourself and others. New situations and challenges make you grow because from what I've seen so far what comes out of it all is never what you expected. But it is always positive :)
I would say my last challenges have been: going to medschool, being on the student council there and studying a year abroad (in Vienna, amazing city guys if you ever have the chance to go don't hesitate !)
Ok so these might not seem like challenges to you and maybe I won't think that either in a couple of years looking back on this post buuuuut we're all different and this is where I am now :)
What else about me ? I'm really tall, the next languages I would like to learn are Arabic and Spanish and I like inappropriate jokes, stand-up comedy, portrait photography, reading poetry and Game of Thrones and Grey's Anatomy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great people :)
And get another perspective on a place I visit or on my hometown when somebody visits me

Interests

Any kind of social activity: spending time with friends to chat, have dinner or go out. Trying new kinds of food. Playing basketball. Going to the beach during summertime. Skiing during wintertime. Going to the movies. Walking around in cities, hiking. Also spending some time alone to read, write, draw, not do anything in particular.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'd say hip hop and electro music are the kinds I listen to the most but you'll probably catch me singing along to any catchy stuff.
Movies: I love movies ! All of them ! Show me anything and I'll be happy :)
Books: from those I think of often: a thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini, The great Gatsby by Fitzgerald, any poetry of Karin Boye

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ugh tough question. Anything can be amazing when you think about it !
But let's say one amazing thing I've seen: the Taj Mahal. The atmosphere there is magical, I can't really describe it in words :).

Teach, Learn, Share

Also a tough question hehe
I feel like I always keep learning from people I meet but also people I already know. You guys have so many amazing stories, it's humbling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything about my everyday life as a student in Switzerland.
If you come to Switzerland you definitely have to see the alps either from a distance (by taking a look out the window ^^) or from up close. And you have to try a Swiss dish, either raclette or fondue which basically always consists of melted cheese. It's good, I promise :)
