Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Cycling around the world until 2026
ABOUT ME
Earth protector, extinction rebel, social worker, pizza napoletana enthusiast, yogi, cyclist.
I grew up in the countryside of Switzerland and studied philosophy and history in Fribourg, Switzerland, then worked few years as a teacher and in an institution for mentally handicapped people in Zürich. After that I studied social work and for two years been working in institutions for children, unaccompanied minor asylum seekers and deafblind people.
The last couple of years, I've been active for the climate and biodiversity movement in Switzerland (Fridays For Future, Extinction Rebellion and Dept For Climate).
I've been living in flat-shares all my life after I left home: Four years with three and fifteen years with 7 other persons.
I use CouchSurfing because I like this way of travelling and I have the impression that mainly very interesting people use this platform.
CURRENTLY I'm cycling from Zürich towards Asia until mid-2026 and therefore can't host you, I'm afraid.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is a cosmic giggle.
