  • Description

    Hello everyone,

    I’m a Swiss and French traveler who is on a big Asia trip since February. I prefer to stay with locals through couchsurfing and to do volunteering. So far I have stayed with many people in countries throughout Asia, helped out as a teacher on a few occasions, and have volunteered on a small coffee farm in Nepal (off-platform). I’m adaptable, curious, and friendly. I see volunteering as the best way to grow some tiny roots in countries one visits.
    I’m mostly looking for shorter stays, one week to two weeks max as I want to visit many places.
