I know that Zürich is super expensive and that being hosted safes you a lot of money. But my house is not a hostel, and if you need a place to stay to be able to live out your super buzzy schedule in Switzerland, than I am not the right host. Especially on weekends.

If you come, I will ask you to cook something for us and to organize the ingredients.
(Even better if its something from your country)☀️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think there is nothing more beautiful in the world than to connect with people from different cultures. No matter how different the culture, it's amazing to connect via Couchsurfing and to discover similarities and differences. I experienced so many memorable moments with great humans which I wouldn't have want to miss out for anything. Every encounter teaches you so much and widens your horizont !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surived 4 days in October in the Finnish forest, 3 of the days without tent, sleeping bag, food and used just the water I found while keeping myself warm with making fire under the rain.

Went for a one week winter expedition, with sled, tarp and skis (No Tent) and was sleeping outside with -30.

Went with my alpine skis from sweden to Norway and slept outside, this time with tent with -20 or I built a snow bivaque where I stayed 3 days.
