Hi! I am Carlina :)

So far, I've been studying Economics both in France and in Scotland, now working in a pastry shop because I wanted to try something new and pursue a childhood dream. I'll be soon back to studies to learn and set up a social enterprise.

I don't like being stuck in a routine, that's probably why I enjoy traveling, and meeting different people! I also want to learn from them and share stories and ideas.
I also like to keep active, and enjoy sports, hiking, and board games.
I enjoy gathering with friends over a drink or a meal, joking and debating about politics, economics and social issues, building a new world overnight :)

Although I do not live within Paris, I would be glad to meet with you and show you nice walks in Paris or interesting places in its neighbouring regions!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been couch surfing before getting to know Couchsurfing while volunteering abroad and welcoming foreign student at home. I loved it, so here I am!

I think travel doesn't worth it without making meaningful, fun or curious encounters.
So whether you come to my house or you invite me at yours, I want to spend time together, sharing interests, cultures and having fun!

And of course, save money ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

building my own bed in a tree and sleeping there for a while, digging a room underground in the snow in the mountain and sleeping in it with a bunch of friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

We could bake French pâtisseries together!
I can also teach you a bit of French
Actually I am open to anything new :)

Great conversations!
I can also introduce you to a few card/board games, although I am not good at losing ^^.
