Holà !
Soy Barbara, soy francés y estoy viajando sola en Colombia por 6 semanas !

Tengo 27 años, y vivo a Paris con amigas y amigos hermosos. I am a curator working on exhibitions, especially ones for kids.

I love to eat comforting food, to travel wherever I can, to read and to go to museums ! I love every kind of art, especially painting, music and cinema.
I used to work with kids, I love to create and have fun with them ! 🌈

I am in the middle of my trip, I have been to Guaviare, Satander and in a finca in Boyaca. I really love Colombia so far and I'm excited to see more !

I speak English fluently, Italian pretty good and I can speak some Spanish ! If you speak slow I will definitely understand you and respond with some time to form my sentences 🙃

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to travel even if I am a young worker who doesn't have a lot of money, because I don't want to wait before I discover the rest of the world !
I also want to share and spend good times with people in their cities, because for me it gives you a way more authentic experience 🙂

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the US when I was 15 and 16 to be an au pair in a family. It was pretty amazing ! I got along great with the family and it was a very good experience.

I ziplined in the Amazon forest and hiked in a canyon in Perù

Teach, Learn, Share

Food is life.
I want to learn all the languages (ALL OF THEM).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a good knowledge of art history and french literature, so I can share theories if you have any interest. I can also share fun travel stories.
I love to cook (and eat) so I can help cook something amazing ! I like to hear other people's stories, so I can lend an ear !
I like to sing but I don't know if you want that to be shared...
I'm also pretty good at origami, so I can teach you a few things !!
And with me you cab practice French and Italian.
