**About me**
I am an open-hearted, curious, calm and respectful person. I like to have good talks and laughter together.

Generally I am interested in a wide variety of topics in life and i can get excited about many things. I find it particularly interesting when I can gain insights into topics that are unknown to me through other people. Besides, I always find it inspiring to get to know people from different backgrounds and their views on life.

**Information for my potential guests**
I am happy to host respectful and considerate people. If you’re just looking for a free place to crash, and your idea of a city trip is to party hard and get wasted, this is not the right place for you.

I can offer a place for one person, a couple would also be alright (1-3 nights).

I live in the western part of Bern, about 4.5 km from the city center. It’s a 15‑minute tram ride or about an hour’s walk from Bern Main Station. There are plenty of public transportation options nearby.

I really enjoy taking time for my guests, which is why I’m usually more open to hosting on weekends. If I’m busy or my social battery is drained, I might have to decline your request. Please don’t take this personally. It’s just about making sure I can be a good host when I do accept a request. :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been using the couches of other people and i am offering my couch, too. In general, i try to be helpful whenever I can. :-) Offering a person a place to sleep, sharing a meal together and exchanging life stories together is very enriching for me. And hopefully this experience is also enriching for my guests.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
I read quite a lot and it makes me somehow sad that there is so little time to read all the interesting books in the world!
A highly recommended book: Dino Buzzati - The Tartar Steppe

Music:
I can't commit to one style of music, which is why I listen to a wide variety of music styles.
