About Me

I am a French traveller starting a new chapter of my life in New Zealand. After graduated in France, I spent the last 4 years in Australia where I was just meant to stay for a little bit. Life decided things differently and I am still not ready to go back to my country so I decided to explore a bit of New Zealand.
I am looking forward to explore this beautiful country and meet up with amazing people along the way.
I would define myself as an open minded person, alway happy to have a good conversation with people and learn new stuffs, different point of view or experiences. I am also curious about things around me and always wanting to know why. Respect and honesty are also very important to me. I am not someone that pretend and I am always down to earth. I always enjoy friendly company of interesting people to go walking in the nature, sightseeing in the cities, drinking and eating, having a laugh, debating and a lot more ..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CS is a great way of traveling, mixing the excitement of meeting new people from different countries with learning about different culture and way of living. Once I will be more stable, I also would like to give back from this amazing experience and host people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Book that touched me a lot lately : "Je te vois reine des quatre parties du monde", Alexandra Lapierre (french and spanish only..). I used to read more but not too much lately, I just read articles online about different topics.
Music that I discovered lately and that I love : Juliette Armanet. What I have been listening to the last week : Down to earth, Massive attack, Kings of Leon, Thievery Corporation, soundtrack of Django Unchained, Bon entendeur, Lomepal and many more. I am pretty open to all types of musics, old or new. The only things I can't stand for too long are .. 'The charts'!
Movies : I am gonna be "cliche" but my favorite movie Titanic because of Leonardo. For me he is the best! One of the last movie I liked was The Florida Project. I am usually into true story, historical movies, biopics, dramas, good comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
