CURRENT MISSION

... praying for a great winter with lots of skiing!

ABOUT ME

I am an uncomplicated, open-minded guy, interested in many things. I love doing sports, eating good food, cooking, reading, participating in political discussions, travelling, meeting people,...
My name "Urs" which means "bear" in french, is probably characteristic of my personality: I am relaxed and easy-going, I am eating tons of food, and in winter I hibernate if I am not out skiing.

PHILOSOPHY

"il faut s'imaginer sisyphe heureux" (Albert Camus) - life's absurd, so enjoy it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was couchsurfing the US and Canada last year. Now I hope to be able to give something back to the community, by offering the couch of my flatshare to the CS community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed some cities in Canada and the US during an epic roadtrip through the American continent this summer.
It will be my first time hosting in Germany - come check it out!
