ABOUT ME
I'm very open for anything that has to do with art, even the most obscure movie or contemporary art!
I like to help.
I like to travel.
I can show you around Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and "Neighbouring" France: Annecy f.i. I have a car. I can lend a bike.

Enjoying as much as possible whatever is happening to me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
By taking people around my town and the towns in the area. I have some experience in guided tours and can adapt the itinerary to the person (s).
I know lots of bars in Geneva, in Carouge, cafés, the bains des Pâquis, italian ice-cream parlors, cinéma for CHF 2.-, art galleries, museums, parks, etc.
I don't always work fulltime, so if you're lucky I can spend quite some time with you.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My career started when I was four, in Philadelphia. I've slept on couches, beds, in hamacs, and on the roof.
Interests
Something that triggers my curiosity, especially going somewhere new, it can be 5 km from here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Most of the amazing things I've done, are difficult to post on the internet, as I would have to ask for permission from those who helped me or that I helped, supported or shared someting with.
I've seen many breath-taking places, experienced small moments of utter joy. Last one was at the end of a Levada Walk on Madeira, where the forest was like a green room with just enough light, enough green, the water flowing and an absolute sense of peace.
Indonesia was the first country I visited in Asia, there were volcanoes and volcanic lakes on Flores, Orang-Utans in Sumatra, people in Bali and this amazing sense of freedom that made me smile all the time!
