I am a 24 year old girl. I grew up in Liège (Belgium) but I currently live and work in Cairo as a teacher in an international school (in French, my students are 10-11 years old). I am curious and enthusiastic, I love travelling and discovering new cultures, sharing meals and getting lost in the streets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing can be the opportunity to meet people and share. I'm used to travel alone, so some company can be good. It's interesting to discover the unexpected treasures of a city with local people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for photography, especially film photography.
I'm teacher, I love talking about education and pedagogy, including the place in our societies.
I have an interest in plants, I am sensitive and observer to my environment.
I am curious and I am interested in any subject, especially when it comes to understanding the functioning of the country in which I travel (social, political, cultural...).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I had the chance to travel in many countries and I had differents ways of life.
Thanks to my parents I had the opportunity to live in other countries (Benin for 5 years and Madagascar for 6 years), it was a very enriching experience that I love to share.
I'm now living and working in Cairo, I will love to share about my life and discuss about middle east culture (that I appreciate a lot).
