About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be curious and go for it

ABOUT ME

I'm both French and Polish and was raised with a double culture. I grew up in France, lived and travelled in other countries and have now moved to Poland. I rely a lot on my family and close friends but am always eager to meet new people that can show me a different way of living. I try to take what I find best in everyone and create my own culture

PHILOSOPHY

lately: putting my life into perpective and thinking it's so amazing I'd be an idiot not to live every second of it at a 100%

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I see couchsurfing as an easy way of meeting new people open to other cultures and curious about the world, but also as a way of travelling while staying home. Couchsurfing is not just about finding a cheap place to stay at, it's mostly an opportunity to bring the rest of the world home, of going abroad while staying on your couch, by discovering interesting people from somewhere else and learning from this meeting...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been raised in a family where having friends and even foreigners around is normal - our door is always open. It gave me so many opportunities to learn about other people an cultures that I don't see myself living any other way.

Interests

Sports (mostly tennis, dancing, diving, skiing), reading, arguing about yet another subject around a good glass of wine (French, of course !), languages, travelling, discvering new cities and their pubs (tasting local food is sometimes worth remembering)
Also: constantly explaining to my best friend how to get to my place because she won't remember next time anyway, having a three-year old explaining life to me and feeling like a fool at how smart kids are nowadays, meeting my friends after work and turning a few hours into such great memories,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a 6-month trip to Latin America: Chili, Brazil and Argentina, salsa and tango, Pao de Azucar and acaraje, Patagonia and so much more... I came back from those 6 months as if I had lived 6 years of amazing experiences ! So if you find a way to live your life behind for a couple of months and discover your dream land, just go for it !
