About Me

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.

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.

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...

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

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 .
