About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding new ways to travel in order to experience culture through people's eyes.

ABOUT ME

Hey ! I think couchsurfing is one of the best ways to achieve that goal, since it usually leads to incredible human experiences and exchanges. I'm looking forward to meeting new people this way !

PHILOSOPHY

I think there is no bad exchange, it's all enriching and interesting experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first heard about CS by attending a couple neighbourhood meetings with friendly couchsurfers.

During my stay in Vietnam, I found my first host in Hanoï. It was an amazing experience which enabled to enjoy Hanoï so much more than by traditional traveling ways. My hosts have become very good friends and I visit them every chance I get. Best CS experience so far !
Been hosted in Bangkok, Thailand too, by an amazingly generous host !

Interests

I love to encounter new cultures, am very curious about lifestyles of all sorts and love above all live music !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have assisted to a Hmong Festival in Lao Cai's Province, in the far north of Vietnam. No one spoke French or English but that didn't stop me from sharing an amazing and enriching cultural experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Back home I study anthropology. I love to exchange about culture in general and open-mindedness.
Recently got done with my M.A., am really proud of my student journey, and looking forward to finding other sources of knowledge through work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Through couchsurfing I hope to meet new and interesting people and to share exciting adventures with them. I wish to discover the lifestyle and personal interests of my hosts, and to share my insights with them.
Eventually, concerning my couchsurfing expectations, I have only one key word : sharing.
