Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard a lot about couch surfing. My first surfs were in Iceland. Was stoked about this way of travelling! After some more surfs in Canada, the Staates and even in my home country Switzerland I grew up to a big fan!It's an awesome way to get in contact with locals and get informed about their way of life. The "saving money”-thing is a nice side effect.

Interests

Sport is what keeps me in form (soccer, basketball, table tennis, jogging, ...), playing the piano and listening to music frees my head. Meeting friends for party, concerts, poker, cooking, talking and so on...makes the smile on my face and finally travelling is what makes me what I am :)!

Music, Movies, and Books

A boundless growing list of amusement :). I love a lot of music, what I listen is depending on my mood, where I am and what I'm up to. I like movies with a message, with enough space for interpretations...movies they won't let you sleep, because they let you form the end. I like non-fiction books, history books and other books the open my horizon.
