About Me

I work in the sustainable urban planning. I previously worked in the social innovation sector. I am passionated about those both topics ; social innovation and spatial organization and I'm also really enthusiastic about many subjects of discussion (from art to politics through food and music).

I like discovering more about art and history of a place and how it reflects on our own civilization. Also I never say no for an outdoor adventure (Hiking, Kayaking, climbing).

I would describe myself as an optimistic, curious, open-minded and easy-going girl. I traveled and hosted many times, I know what is to be a respectful couchsurfer :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a chance to travel since my young age. During my travels, I look for transforming experiences, I try to be confronted with other realities and learn from it. I believe the best we understand the world, the most we are tolerant, creative, and we can try to have a positive impact around us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books I love : The roots of Heaven by Romain Gary / Persian letters by Montesquieu / Samarcande of Amin Maalouf / laughable loves by Kundera / books of Ivan Illich and any books about how to build a sustainable futur

Music I love : anything with oriental vibe (from traditionnal one as Fairuz to techno one as Acid Arab, passing by turkich psychedelic rock band > Altin Gun).
Also Italian pop as Marino Marino and its classical "Guaglione". I love also jazz and classics for my relaxing and focus moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18, I bicycled through Southeast Asia with 2 good friends with the goal "Zero waste".

Teach, Learn, Share

A lot of good vibes to share

I have an entrepreneurial and creative spirit and had achieved a lot of projects (part of my studies and hobbies...) I would love to help you out is you have a project in mind.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love dancing and particularly learning traditional dance. During my travels, the energy of a dance was a big part of how I felt in love with a culture. I love how it brings people together.

When I host, I expect nothing special but simply going with the flow ; talking, take you somewhere I love or discovering places together, cooking, dancing or trying to make art (I like photography, drawing, paintings ...) ...
