About Me

I would describe myself as easy going, energetic, most of the time in a good mood and always up for a good laugh.

Born and raised in Thun, Switzerland - I was blessed to grow up in the environment that you most probably know from postcards of Switzerland.
Mountains: check
Cows: check
Tons of chocolate & cheese: check
But please do not expect me to "Jodel"(special kind of swiss chanting) - Unfortunately, I'm a bad singer ;)

Since 2003 I have been working in the online industry and have lived or longer stayed in some European countries like Germany, England & Holland.

In 2016 I quit my corporate job to travel the world while working as a digital product & user experience consultant in self-employment. Furthermore, I want to use my skills for something good, therefore I am involved in some sustainability projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to see a place how a local sees it. I think couch surfing is excellent for that!

Music, Movies, and Books

In the good old 90ties I enjoyed going to the big raves in the warehouses listening to trance and hardcore music. Electronic music today is still a genre I really like, but nowadays, I am very open minded and can literary listen to anything from the rough techno to Enrique Iglesias to Deutscher Schlager - the people and the atmosphere the music is enjoyed in and feeling the good vibes is the important thing.

My favorite book is from Paulo Cohelo - The Alchemist. It touched me in many ways and the Arabic word the book is referring I have a tattoo.

The best movie of all time and absolutely not reached by anything else that ever was before or came afterward - The Matrix.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Living in a shared flat with 29 other flatmates for 5 years
- Stepping out of the comfort zone

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share deep talks about the meaning of life, but on the other hand, I am well informed about football results, too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty good cook and I will not leave your place in chaos - the good thing about the Swiss ;)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom
