About Me

Couchsurfing since 2010 but lately got lazy and busy af.
There's a high chance I won't see your message and therefore won't reply, please don't take it personal.
Sorry folks!

______________________________

I'm originally from Zurich, Switzerland. I moved to London in September 2014 to study Dance and Performing Arts (omg that was 5 years ago - time's running too fast!)
When I'm not in the dance or yoga studio I really enjoy fucking up my sleeping schedule by working as a bar manager and event organiser.

People usually describe me as a big smiling and adventurous girl with a hugh passion for life. I'm very ambitious and I constantly strive to get better at pretty much everything. By the time I've taken my last breath in this world I want to be able to fill whole books with stuff I've actually experienced (and I want it to be kinda interesting to read).

Inspirational hipster stuff / quotes I like:

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
- Wayne Gretzky

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future."
- Chris McCandless

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, this whole couchsurfing project is very personal. It's about exchange and having a great time with people all over the planet, and not only about a free bed. I'm not the type of girl who invites everyone to her house. Therefore I expect that you have chosen me for a specific reason and not just to save some money.

At the moment I don't host as I'm new to the city and have to get to know everything myself first, but I surely will start again..

Interests

well, I guess travelling it is. ;)

But also dancing, the rave/electro club culture, playing the piano and the guitar, art, design, watching good movies, chilling on the lake, talking to interesting and weird people, having huge philosophical discussions etc..

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like to show people around the city and so far I got lots of praise for being a good tour guide...

Teach me how to cook one of your favourite meals and I will love you forever.
