CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I want to open more and more my life and heart to Couchsurfing and my flat to strangers from all around the world.

I often travel as backpacker in Asia, my two favorite countries are India and Nepal. I've been traveling around the world during 2 years (from August 2014 to August 2016), have a look on my world traveller's blog for details :

There are many ways to contact me : e-mail of course, but also Skype, WhatsApp, WeChat and Hangout.

I live alone, my 41 m2 flat is 1 km from Paris and I work in the center of Paris.

I enjoy speaking in Spanish, English or Italian language. I practice several sports and winter I often go to the cinema.

PHILOSOPHY

Always go forward !
I enjoy practising sports (running, badminton, trekking, rollerskating...) and buddhist meditation. And I'm learning to play music (ukulele).
Those both activities help to keep well balanced !

I am a quiet person. I am also interested in psychology, nutrition and ecology (Greenpeace member). I'm greedy but I try to have a balanced diet. I'm pretty open minded, I enjoy talking about anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My 2 years backpacking trip in 2014-2015-2016 introduced me to the CS community. The people I have met along the way have been amazing and some I am still in touch with.
The best experiences were getting to know locals and getting involved with their local culture, language and activities.
I also have had great experiences meeting up with other travelers along the way and sharing experiences and information.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a busy working schedule so weekends are best for me if you want me to show you around.

Unfortunately if you want to stay during the week I will be working between 7 am and 5 or 6 pm most nights so I can’t really show you around. However I am happy to point you in the right direction and give you any tips you need for your daily activities and have some drinks or dinner with you in the evening.
