ABOUT ME
Who am I (not Jean Valjean, that's for sure.)
I'm 20, graduated from school (Gymnasium) in 2015 and am now enjoying my gap year and lots of free time. I love making music (ukulele, guitar, singing), collecting worthless second or third hand art and extravagant dresses that I barely ever wear but still adore. I've been living in this tiny village for the past two years and long for the day that I can move back to the city. Zürich is my home at heart. In the meantime I spend lots of time with my friends in karaoke bars, go on long lonely walks with my two adorable dogs (Bichon Frisé and Labradoodle). I still live with my parents and my 12-year old sister.

PHILOSOPHY

"J'ai décidé d'être heureux parce que c'est bon pour la santé."
-Voltaire

"Basically everything Epicurus ever said"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a cosy bedroom to offer and, if you insist on it, a couch that is a little bit less comfortable:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted once so far and it was a very positive experience! I'm looking forward to meeting new people, making friends and of course travelling myself :)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've missed my plane twice when travelling back home from Armenia. I then had to stay a week longer - one of the best weeks of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to play the ukulele :)!
I can also train your ear, because I talk really fast.
If you want to learn some funny and more or less useful Swiss German expressions - I'm your woman!
I'd love to improve my lousy Portuguese and guitar skills :).

Countries I’ve Visited

Armenia, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey
