Hey my name is Simon😃

I come from a small traditional village in Switzerland called Appenzell🏔🌻🌲I grew up in a picture-perfect place, but relatively early on I experienced the urge to discover other parts and people of the world. I am an open, tolerant, curious person. I work on different projects and dreams and it is hard to get me down.

I believe that one grows most from from facing discomfort. I try to remove judgement from my life and meet everyone with open loving hands.

See you soon🌞😃🌱🌻🌚

Music, Movies, and Books

Netflix subscription, but never in use. I like to go outside, read or study.

I don't belong to the standard music listener and sometimes friends say I am a little crazy when I first listen to poetic Lebanese songs and a short time afterwards a yodel song from my region booms out of the speakers. I just love the unusual and always like to venture into new terrain. Not just in music.

But if I had to choose a favorite song, it would be Lonn from Lund Quartet

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Varanasi, India and making prostheses for children, a 400km bicycle ride from the swiss mountains to the sea in one day, camping alone in the jungle during a cyclone (hurricane), climbing a 6000m peak in the Himalayas with two drunken mountain guides, studying to be a medical computer scientist, cycling through the Balkans,… i always try to fill my days with as much cool stuff and experiences as possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time to grow with each other.

I know every corner of my hometown and I am an expert when it comes to unknown or forgotten places in nature. I love to show my friends these unknown jewels and to discover new treasures together.

I can try to cook you some traditional dishes, help you out with something or teach you German.
