ABOUT ME

I am 25 years old. I am French Dutch and Armenian. I am attracted towards all cultures, mainly for the food, the music, the language, and legends. I have traveled sometimes by myself and really liked it. Most of the times I met many other travelers from different places. I appreciate very much the basic idea of Couchsurfing that allows sleeping at locals' places for free and therefore becomes a tool to help each other become better global citizens.

Friends and family members have told me that I am thoughtful, dreamy, smiley, persevering and so sometimes quite stubborn... X)

The next travel I plan on doing is going to visit, for the first time, at last!, as many historical places as possible in Armenia.

Another dream travel is to go some months (8 or so) to Central and South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had my first couchsurfing experience in Medellin, Colombia. I liked how easy it was to start conversations with them and how it is about knowing new persons and even make new friends. Couchsurfing makes it easier to feel comfortable in an unknown city.

Until now I have been hosted but I would like to give it a try by receiving guests in my student house.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a master student in Architecture.
Besides architecture, I am attracted to anthropology and geopolitics, although I still have everything to learn about it
I love speaking different languages, that is why I would like to continue practicing Spanish and to learn Armenian, Farsi, Portuguese, Italian, and Hindi.
