Update 2023:
Due to the conditions in my new apartment, I cannot host people overnight, but I am happy to meet up new people if you come to Zurich. I am typically free in the evenings.

[For potential guests]:
- I try to answer requests within 24 hours. If you don't hear from me after one day, pls take it as a no and keep looking:)
- I might decline requests without replying an message when I am busy, please take it in a kind way.

CURRENT MISSION

to know the world

ABOUT ME

I came to Lausanne, the French speaking part of Switzerland, as a student in 2011. That marks the start of my experience of interacting with people from different background and culture. Somehow I became an "open-minded" person, maybe because I am always curious about new things, or maybe I simply don't have a very strong opinion against anything.

Over time, I've traveled a little bit in Europe, by plane, by train, by bus, by carpooling, by hitchiking, by walking. I've worked on some farms and stayed with some local families through HelpX and WWOOF. Most of the "cool" things initiated by the good will of "saving money" actually have led to quite unique and interesting experience.

Currently I am living in Zurich and working in Zug (another Kanton nearby). For people with prejudice on the financial industry, my job is unfortunately about "making money" (damn capitalism :)). But it can be fun as well:)

---------------------

I host because I like to meet interesting people. I would appreciate it if you send me a personalized couch request.

PHILOSOPHY

"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind."
