About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work hard, but enjoy your free time all the more. Be grateful when you are healthy and don't let it stop you when wanderlust calls.

ABOUT ME

I'm a generalist. There are so many things I like to do and I'm interested in. In the morning, I need my coffee and the newspaper to start the day ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was a student, I didn't have money to travel the world, so I brought it home. The many encounters with people from other cultures have enriched my life. Life circumstances and times changed over the years, but I am still attached to the idea of Couchsurfing.

Interests

I love all kinds of sports. On weekends I often go sailing, skiing, snowboarding... After a long working day, I love to relax in my garden. And there's always something to do in/around the house. I'm reading a lot and I love discussions with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Good mixture between travel magazines, computer journals and historic novels

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Actually, there are three: Iceland, where I helped drive sheep back to the farms in the fall; the Philippines, where I swam with whale sharks; and South Korea, where I visited the DMZ.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take you out for skiing/snowbording or sailing. Or, if you are travelling by motorcycle, let me show you the greatest routes in the Alps, in the Jura Mountains or in the Black Forest :-) ( I prefer small streets and pathes where you can see our most amazing places)
