Overview
About Me
I have been living in Paris since 2015 in the 11th arrondissement.
During my studies, I lived in several cities in France and also in Edinburgh in Scotland for 1 year between 2012 and 2013.
I've been working as a design engineer in the energy and environmental efficiency of buildings for 4 years.
I'm very interested in anything to do with the environment and ecology.
I'm taking a 6-month sabbatical in 2024 and I plan to discover Canada (3 months), Japan and Vietnam (3 monthts).
I love trains and have already booked my trip between Toronto and Vancouver!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am preparing my trip to Canada for 3 months from April to July 2024 and I would like to meet Canadians with the aim of making enriching encounters and getting to know Canadians from East to West.
For the moment I have booked a train "Le Canadien" from Toronto to Vancouver on 1st May 2024 and I am open to meetings and opportunities for the rest of my trip to Canada.

Teach, Learn, Share

That's why I signed up for Couch surfing :)
