ABOUT ME
I am a 25 year old french journalist, living in Paris. I love to travel, learn new language and meet people form all around the world to discover their culture and way of life.
I had the luck to spend one year in Rome, Italy in 2008/2009, during my Erasmus exchange university program. Since then, Im in love with Italy (and Rome) and I regularly come back in Italy during my vacation because I miss it ;) When I can, I go back there also to work as a journalist.
My dream was also to go to Brasil and I had the luck to go there in February 2009. I went in the South (florianopolis, porto alegre, and I visited the state of Rio Grande do Sul). I would love to come back in Brasil to visit Rio, Salvador de Bahia... I was also lucky to live two month in India in september and october 2010, to work as an intern journalist with the french correspondant of national french TV channel" France 2". I was in New Delhi and traveled a lot in the North... I would love to come back and visit south India !
There are lot's of other place I would love to visit anyway, in South America and also in Asia... and why not Russia ! I am very openminded.
I think couchsurfing is a very good idea, because it's the opportunity to see the real face of a country or a city, discover also it's daily life, its philosophy and culture by meeting someone who lives there. Be part of its daily life, its people, and not being just a tourist from one hotel to another...
Also : I play the guitare, I take lots of photos, and I love to dance. I
I love the sun, I love to cook sweet cakes,... I like to taste food I had never tasted before.
I love both sea sides very hot, and cold snowcovered mountains...
PHILOSOPHY
enjoy life, be useful, spread wisdom and happiness through the world (oh so original I know).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can welcome people in my house, If I have the time, but also drink a coffee with them to help them learning french, or to give them advises (good places to go, to visit..)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been 3 days in London in an apartment (colocation) where Joey, from couchsurfing, was living. He was very kind with us, welcoming, we had a room just for us (we, the 2 girls), with a very comfortable bed.. He also suggested us to go out with im in an indian restaurant one night ! A very good experience ! We still keep in touch.
I also spent 4 days in Stockholm with my exboyfriend. A very nice swedish boy welcomed us in his appartment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Have been in the world youth days in 2005 in Köln, Germany (Cologne in french). During 10 days, we were walking, singing, sharing, mixing different languages... The whole world was here : I met brasilian, sweden, chilian, spanish, canadian, american, japanese, israelian... All here for the same thing : faith. What I liked the more was the possibility to meet people from all around the world, all here for solidarity, peace, and love :)
Other amazing thing : I climbed a famous fountain with sphynx staues on it, Place du Châtelet int Paris... But the sad part of the story is that I cut very deeply my foot. I had to go to the hospital. The good thing is that I still can walk. :)
I have lived in the best city in the World for one year : Rome ^^
