Bonjour !
My name is Amandine and I think that the things that describe me the most is my curiosity. In fact, I'm the kind of person who loves to learn about a lot of things, like nature facts, philosophy, Art, music, but I'm not just eager to know culture, I'm curious about people, I love to understand their ways of seeing the world. And that's the main reason why I want to travel.

Afterwards, I'm a very positive woman who will do everything for making a situation worth living it. I think that the saddest events can make you grow and make you even more aware of happiness.

I would finish with saying that I'm a very calm person, I tend to listen a lot, and love quiet conversation over big party. But sometime I can like the energy of big crowds.

Nice to meet you !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I don't just want to know a country by visiting it alone, I think that a country is mainly represent by the people who lives in it. Couchsurfing is the best way to have great conversations and meeting, and as I said, I'm very curious about people and their behaviours.

I will be doing a trip in Japan in May, so I though that going through Couchsurfing would be the best way to enrich my trip into a life experience.
