About Me

Born in the French Alps mountains in a quite remote area.
Traveling around the world when I was student enabled me to get an unforgettable youth, to meet wonderful friends and to open my mind to other cultures.
I graduated in Sustainable Development and moved to Paris region to find a job and still living here for the best (lot of cultural events in small places, beautiful architecture almost everywhere, meeting people from all around the world) and the worst sometimes...

I like to discover culture through music, painting, handcraft, dance and even poetry.
But i also love to escape the stressfull and crowded city to walk or cycle in the nature.
I am volunteer in an amazing NGO - bike kitchen association - in my city where i am involved into workshops to learn how to do manual and sustainable things (make your cosmetics, repair your Electronic devises, reuse bikes parts, etc.).

Since June 2023, after leaving my job, i decided to start a solo bicycle trip around France and Europe to meet others... and probably also to meet myself. Which road ? How long ? How many kms ?
Everything is possible and it is the freedom i like when travelling by bike.

Hope we can meet and spend great and interesting time together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately, i am travelling right now and i am not staying at home for months.
But i will be hosting when i will be back home and giving back every good vibration that i receive during my trip

Interests

Other people and cultures
Music (I play saxophone) - i love to discover artists in small bars or small music places
Cinema... (cheaper for traveling among space and time)
Cooking (...and eating) - i strongly believe that sharing a home made meal can definitely bring more that just a few more calories..
