About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To tour the world, meet people from different places and sample as many cuisines as I can!

I've been back in France a little over a year now after living 2 years in Austria and travelling 7 months around Asia and Iran. I'm now doing my PhD in sociology.

ABOUT ME

I'm spontaneous, open minded and easy to get along with.

I study gender studies, sociology, literature and anthropology and I write short stories in my spare time. I'm fascinated by other cultures and I want to explore, experience the world and make friends where I go!

PHILOSOPHY

Never regret anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced by a close friend who loves it and I've had some amazing experiences couch surfing in Japan and Iran. I met wonderful people and it's only the beginning!

I have just moved to Paris and live in a tiny studio for the meantime so I can only receive female guests.

Interests

I love cooking, sampling ice cream flavours - so far my favourites are matcha and saffron - interesting talks over wine/cocktails/coffee, animal documentaries and reading National Geographic.

I also recently discovered scuba diving and hiking and I am hooked!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books/authors - Haruki Murakami, Alice's adventures in Wonderland, Christopher Marlowe, Roddy Doyle.

Movies - I am a cyborg but it's OK, Boys don't cry, Frozen, True Romance, Norwegian Wood, Tangled.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with whale sharks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach English and/or French (language or food!), especially in exchange for a few words in Spanish, Arabic, Japanese or any other language!

Food - I love to cook, learn new recipes and share the ones I already know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've only been in Paris a few months but I'll do my best to show you what I know about the place and surroundings!
