Hi! I'm Yannick, a man who likes people and nature. I was born in Basel, Switzerland and grew up in Mexico City. My dual nationality (German-Belgian) is due to my parents. I studied in the UK, studied and worked in Beijing and Shanghai, and am currently doing my Master's in Political Economy in Amsterdam. I also spend time in Basel and Brussels. PHILOSOPHY Reflect, engage, learn, grow and share.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Cooking
Fluent in German
Learning Chinese (Simplified)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm here to host curious travellers and to get to know locals when I travel, as I believe getting to know similar people cross-culturally is the best way to experience traveling and learning about other's' walks of life. If I were to host someone who was willing, I'd show him my favorite corners of the town, but more importantly I like the idea of sharing a roof, food and laughs with someone.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like a diverse range of music, from the National, Nujabes, Beethoven's 9th, Tame Impala to Clueso. Movies: Old Boy, Incendies, Her, Spirited Away (and all Miyazaki) Books: Isaac Asimov's Foundation, Koestler's Darkness at Noon, Goethe's poetry
