CURRENT MISSION

Having fun with my nearly 1 year old son....

ABOUT ME
I am a dual citizen with Swiss and US citizenship. Have always loved travel and working with humanitarian groups while doing so makes it even better. Returned to the US last year after living in Ethiopia and Liberia doing hospital consulting for the previous two years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I traveled around the world for 4 years and couchsurfing provided some of my most memorable interactions with locals, expats and random people during that time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two trips stand out: a four week journey with three of my best friends through Europe in 2003 and helping build/design a strawbale/earthbag village for AIDS orphans in rural South Africa in 2006. And just for the sheer creative energy and beauty - the nine years I've gone to BurningMan.
