About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Descobrir el món :)

ABOUT ME

Wow there's a lot to say, after all it's been 27 years I was born! Very brief: I'm a super curious person (some might call me nosy ;-) ), I love learning, especially languages and cultural stuff along with anything curious in natural and social sciences... well... see... pretty much everything! I love cooking as well, pub crawls, sports (skiing, Switzerland is just perfect!; horse riding; running; mountaineering... and so much more!), reading and listening to music, especially Spanish and South American music. If you wanna find out more... Let's meet up!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to look ahead, not back. (It's difficult sometimes.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope I can host somebody. I'm living with two more people who have to give their okay, after all, we're quite democratic! But I'll be happy to show you around in town... though I'm a stranger here myself!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with Irina in Boston for 3 nights in summer 2008. It was marvellous, we had a night out together, good pizza and a funny Greyhound bus trip from New York to Boston.
I met Diana and Yves in Zurich in 2009 and had a fantastic night out.
I met Gil in Zurich for Sechsiluete in 2010 and had a super entertaining afternoon with him.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went climbing in the Himalaya after vomiting for a week in India (food intoxication I guess). I rescued a biker who'd had an accident on the motorway from being killed by passing cars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite a good language teacher and quite enjoy myself teaching. Discussions about technology, sustainability, science and climate change, as well as economics and politics are also welcome. If somebody could show me how to play Arabesques by Debussy you'd make my day! We've got a piano here at my place.
---update: no piano here anymore---pity---
