Hey there! My mother is French, my father is Dutch, but I have lived most of my life in Australia, partly in Germany, France and Senegal as well. I love talking to people, discovering new places in the world, but I also love to sometimes see the simple things in life; for example when going to uni noticing the way the leaves fall from the trees in a whirlwind of colours.. Sharing coffee/favourite meals, reading, writing stories, learning languages and trying to understand different cultures are my passion.
Fluent in German

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I think that through couchsurfing, you can meet many interesting people; for a fleeting moment, one can get a glimpse of a person's life and share stories, languages, passions etc. For me couchsurfing is also a way to get to know the local people of a certain city and thus to experience a city through the eyes of a local.
Music, Movies, and Books
La sombra del viento: Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Maimouna: Abdoulaye Sadji Rap, hiphop and reggae music, sometimes mbalax Jeux d'Enfants, A la folie....pas du tout, Blood diamond,
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you German, French, Dutch, English for sure!! My Japanese is very basic and unfortunately I have forgotten a lot of it! If you speak Wolof I would love to talk to you, as I don't get the chance very often ;) I would also love to share languages, stories, music anything that flows your boat .
What I Can Share With Hosts
I love cooking and would be very happy to cook/bake a dish for you!
My Interests
sitting, talking, reading, dreaming inside while it rains outside....... Chilling with some good friends, music in the background.... I do believe that it is the people that make a place. However beautiful the surroundings, if you are surrounded by egocentric people.... the place will lose its charm. drinking café Touba, ataya..... ! Tarte aux pommes...
