About Me

Hi everyone ! I m a french girl who traveled on my own in South America for almost 2 years and half. I decided to leave France after finishing my studies, I wasn't ready to get into my work life yet as I was way too curious about South America and its amazing cultures.
During two years I was doing a lot of volunteering (Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Mexico) to really get to know the country as most of the time we stayed with locals. I had the chance to meet amazing and inspiring people from all over the world!

Unfortunately, for now, I'm not able to accept anyone at my place as I am traveling in Italy but as soon as I settle somewhere I will be more than happy to welcome you!

A bit more about myself: I love cooking, watching movies, hiking, horse riding, outside activities and sometimes surfing when I managed to stand up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing allowed to really meet people and to get out of the traditional way of doing tourism. I am more interested to learn about a place through the eyes of someone that really know and love their place. It is also a really nice way to hear about different stories of life which can be really fascinating.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm listening to every kind of music almost but to give some example it would be Tash Sultana, Bicep, The Kooks, Two Feet, David Bowie, Flume, Fakear, Maluma, ... Currently, my favorite song is You Don't Know - Benjamin Amaru and Memories - Ady Suleiman

I love listening to news track so I would be more than happy to listen to your favorites ones!

My best TV Show would definitively be Peaky Blinders! But I also watch Brooklyn 99 or One day at the time which always make me laugh, I really like as well Good Girls but I have definitively have to start watching Strangers Things.

About books, The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair made me crazy, I read it in a few days, I couldn't manage to stop reading. The Handmaid's Tale, Paulo Coehlo, Jussi Adler - Olsen, Ian Manook, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, for example, are part of books/authors that I can have in my Kindle. I can't travel without it anymore, it makes reading so easy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Cuba doing some horse riding with the nephew of my host family, he brought me to his hidden place, a stunning valley surrounded by softs hills full of palms trees with a tiny house in the middle of it. We sat on the grass while watching the sunset, next to our horses. It was a really magical moment, shrouded by nature and bird's noises.

A funny moment was in Peru while swimming with turtles, then suddenly I heard a weird nose next to my hear on the surface of the water, I was so surprised to be face to face with a huge turtle that went to surface to breathe next to me.

My travel was full of amazing, and some crazy as well, stories that I would be more than happy to share while cooking for you or in front of a nice bottle of wine

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some nice food (Mexican, French, some Italian as well), I can also help you with Spanish or teaching you some nice board games.

I would love to learn your own recipes, new expressions or words in your language or even another one! I am also curious about what you could listen or watch and listen to you about what you are really passionate about!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wish I can share a nice moment while cooking for example and talking about our lives, experiences about ourselves in this world, or a nice story about you and your family! Maybe play with your animals and go outside for a walk while talking about the next season of whatever TV show you are watching
