Hey ! I'm a bubbly and optimistic person who comes from a very mutlicultural family. I love diving into new cultures and traditions, for every step towards a more open mind is a step towards wisdom. I'm outgoing and chatty but I also love to listen, listen to people's stories and adventures, get a small insight into the amazing world which lies inside each and every one of us.
I love to read and write. I am also quite outdoorsy and enjoy wild swimming tremendously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met some truly incredible people through many strange situations, Couchsurfing being one of them. I believe it is an amazing way of discovering new places through the eyes of people who live there and are open to meeting travellers. I have used Couchsurfing while traveling with my fiancé in the past, but am currently embarking on a 2 month-long solo trip, during which I would love to meet people, to gather and share stories, forging step-by-step a network of positivity and support across continents !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In July 2021, I went to the Isle of Skye (Scotland) for 1 month, hiking, hitch-hiking, wild camping and meeting up with artists who live on the island. I got to discover the amazing landscapes through their eyes. This taught me so much about myself, others, nature, making it was one of the most meaningful adventures of my life so far. I swam alongside a seal, I hiked along cliff edges with the wind blowing through my hair, I saw roaring waterfalls and shimmering seas. I opened up to spontaneous meetings and regained faith in humanity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to hear about your life story, your adventures, your way of seeing the world - and in return, I would love to share my perspective with you ! I am currently writing a fictional story about the search for happiness, and would love your insights on what this means for you.

We could have an evening of board games, of chatting over a beer, walking through your neighborhood, settling down for a film, cooking together... I would love to see what your life is like and to discover the place through your eyes and your tales.
