CURRENT MISSION

Crossing borders

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Paris, but I've always wanted to explore the world and its diversity of cultures. I'm very curious of the people I meet wherever I travel, discover their life and see the country through their eyes.

My home is in France, but as a writer, I have been traveling and living abroad half of the year for some time. I am currently based in British Columbia, Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling for me is much more than sightseeing: it means more to me to meet and share something with the people living there than going in a museum. Moments spent together will be the ones I'll bring back in my mental suitcase.

I am currently not able to host people anymore, but I started using CS to do that: I loved having travelers around and having the feeling of rediscovering my own town. I always took the time to spend as much time as possible with my hosts

Interests

Playing guitar, daydreaming, writing, reading, traveling by night, sleeping in the grass, beer, red wine, friends, fireflies, observing pigeons in rut, lazing on a sunny afternoon, singing in the rain, falling in love, changing the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Mount Kinabalu (4095m) in Malyasia after I was told it was a "family walk" (spoiler alert: it wasn't).

Seeing the blue fire in Mount Igen on Java (Indonesia).

Randomly running into the same guy in Lund, Sweden and then five years later in a small restaurant in Bangkok.

Taking the bus in Paris at night while listening to Damien Rice.

Teach, Learn, Share
