About Me

💛💙
I can't host regularly at the moment, but feel free to request.

______________

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. John Lennon

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. C. S. Lewis

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opened my own restaurant (first Feldhof, then Rechberg 1837 in Zurich) like; no risk, no fun, all in. Already received some Gault-Millau points and a Michelin Green Star 🎉. One thing led to another, and now it’s already a small chain with different restaurants, pop-ups, and stores.
