About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe diem folks !

ABOUT ME

Traveling is my way of life and I'm trying to find any way I can to do it all the time. I've lived between France, Bosnia, Ireland, Austria, USA and Tunisia (my suitcase is my home), learning as many languages as I could on the way. Today, I work in PR for foreign tourism boards and I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel often for work.

I'm an easy-going person, very open-minded (thank you anthropology !) and I love meeting people from all around the world. I'm quite comfortable with everybody. I love debating and have a fiery temper. I prefer skipping small talks and going straight to the point. I love people with a lot of conversation (quiet people are okay too if they have good vibes!) and really enjoy stories of any kind : life stories, travel stories, jokes, fairy tales...
And of course, I love food unconditionally (I'm French after all...) : I love cooking it, eating it, looking at it and discussing it !

PHILOSOPHY

Always look on the bright side, I guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like hosting people and I wish I could do it more often but my current flat and especially my constant travelling these last few years have been a real obstacle but I try to compensate by being hosted instead and I'd like to thank in advance everyone who's gonna help me at some point. You're the best, folks !
Best way to travel ever !
