Hi ! My name is Aveline I grow up and study in France (Normandy and Britanny), lived a short time in Montreal and now living in NYC, doing a post-doc in medical biology. I have a busy schedule during the week but like to enjoy the city and meet people during the weekend. I am currently living at the boarder between Washington Heights and Harlem, in a local area without too much tourism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a community of people sharing the same interests of meeting people, discover new cultures, and travelling. I don't need comfort but want to know more about your life, your culture, your country.

Interests

During my free time I love travelling, meet people, discover countries and new cultures or get out from the city to enjoy the calm that the nature can offer.

I like also meet new people, drink beers (more particularly unknown beer from microbrewery), cooking, discover music during concerts, watch movies and take time with my friends.

I would love to one day take a year for myself and discover the world... hopefully after my current job!

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently I like to listen Nina Simone, Moriarty, two french groups named "Boulevard des airs" and "LEJ" or the impressive voice of Imany. When I want to listen calm music, I enjoy Agnes Obel and Chapelier Fou
