ABOUT ME
I've been living in the UK for a bit more than four years now. I recently moved from Brighton to London for a MA degree. Having grown up in a little Swiss village, I'm still coming to terms with the sheer size of the city! But I am really enjoying the opportunities to explore new things and how many interesting people one can meet here. However, I'm not so fond of the tube at peak times.
I play a lot of volleyball, mostly indoors due to the weather, but also on the sand in summer. I try to cycle to places, but haven't been braving the weather as much as I thought I would. Other than that, I read and watch a lot of stuff, and just started exploring digital art through my Masters courses. I like meeting up with friends and going for a drink or two, but I'm not the craziest party person you've ever met. I'm still fun to be around though, I promise. ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Meeting lots of lovely people from all over the place.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been hosted by some people in Denmark and absolutely loved it. It was a nice way to get to know people and to learn something about the town we would never have found out in a tourist office!
I've also stayed with people in Bournemouth, UK, for a beachvolleyball tournament, and joined some meet-ups when I lived in Brighton. I only meet lovely people!
