About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I will travel from middle of October until middle of April in Central- and Southamerica!! I start in Mexico and will head south until Patagonia) I am very excited about that and looking forward to nice adventours and getting to know many cool people! I want to learn how to surf, how to dive, how to dance and learn Spanish!!

During that time I can't host, of course!

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person who loves to laugh and I enjoy having a good time with friends. I'm reliable and love all sorts of sports, especialy football, hiking, skiing, tennis and many more!!
I'm looking forward to meet new people. I also like to cook, drink a good glass of wine or beer or having a BBQ with friends.
I'm very interested in knowing all about different cultures and like listening to stories of other people and telling them mine. I'm also up to everything that is new :)

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your life and make the best out of every day!
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, it is a habit"
"Make today so good yesterday gets jealous"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since December 2013 I live in a nice flat in Zürich. We will have a huge living room with a couch with enough space for 2 people! I'm open to meet new people and show you some interesting things in Zürich (where I'm working) or Aarau (where I grew up). I'm always up for a drink if I don't have time to host or I will give you good tips what you really have to see in Zürich.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked up Mount Kilimanjaro!!!! (5895m) :)
I've seen a lot of amazing cities in Europe e.g. Barcelona, London, Paris, Prag, Berlin, Milano, Budapest, Amsterdam etc. but I've also seen some awesome cities in the USA (NY, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, San Francisco, L.A., Las Vegas), I've been in Malaysia & Singapur, I love beautiful Iceland and I spent 3 weeks in amazing South Africa, I've been in Cuba, Tansania and much more :)

One of the best things I've ever done was a 10 weeks language stay in Canada in Summer 2009. I visited a lot of beautiful cities (Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Montreal, Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle) and places (Niagara Falls, National Parks etc.)there. The highlight was an 11 day trip through the Rocky Mountains with Skydiving, White Water Rafting and Kayaking!

Summer 2010 was totally dedicated to Scandinavia. After 6 weeks studying in Copenhagen at the Business School, I travelled to Gothenburg, Oslo, Stockholm, Uppsala, Turku, Helsinki and Tallinn!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my positive attitude towards life, the world and other people. I think a contagious smile is a very beautiful thing which creates happiness. And one of the most important qualities which everyone should have: RESPECT!
