About Me

I've been meaning to rewrite this for a while since it's a bit old now. I'm French and after spending about 5 years traveling I somehow ended up settling in Valencia. Sometimes you discover a place and you don't feel the need to keep moving anymore and this is that place to me, at least for now!

I've lived in the US, Canada, Scotland, France and now Spain. I speak French, English and Spanish and I haven't given up on the idea of learning a fourth language soon. I discovered Couchsurfing about 8 years ago and met a lot of great people through the app and had memorable adventures with a few of them. I have surfed and hosted a bit, but to me it's mostly a way to meet other people with a traveling mindset.

Otherwise, I love photography, books, sports and boardgames...and of course traveling ! If you pass by Valencia, come say hi!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people with different cultural backgrounds and people who like to travel as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Scotland after watching a documentary on trains in that country. It looked like an amazing place and so I decided to spend a few months there.
