I'm a 23 years old Swiss - Canadian guy from Berner Jura (a french speaking enclave in Bern) who did a Bachelor in St. Gallen in Economics, and somehow became interested in Chinese language and culture, and ended up spending almost 3 years living and working in China, a time during which I was fortunate enough to pick up Chinese and tea ceremony skills (so cliché).

I am now enrolled for Computer Science studies at ETH Zurich.

I love Triathlon (i.e. swimming, cycling, running), Cooking, Chinese Culture, Philosophy, Technology of all shapes and forms, my Nintendo Switch, etc.

I speak English, French, German, and Chinese!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe in meeting cool people who share the common mindset of hosting and being hosted and just generally being friendly and awesome :D !
