ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance graphic designer and with my boyfriend (Julien) we are both passionate by Nature, wildlife conservation and...travels! We try to travel as often as our schedules allow us (a polite way to say that we have to earn some money before going crazy with plane tickets).
Julien works for a water conservancy organization in France and looove biking (don't start him on that topic ).
When I'm not with my camera trying to take the perfect shot of a fox, an ant or anything that moves, I draw (so I like illustration and arts in general) or I cook (well...I'm french, it's compulsory ;-) ). I lived in Boston during my studies and loved to see everything with a new perspective.
We also have a nice, fun dog :-)

PHILOSOPHY

It won't be super original: Don't have any regrets (but it's easier to say than to apply!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I tried when I was studying in USA and I was amazed by the kindness of my hosts and by this great generous concept. I lived in Strasbourg with a few roomates for a while but we didn't hosted any guests ;-(
We hosted someone during the COP 21 (climate conference) in 2015 and it was nice eventhow we could only offer a couch at that time.
Now we live in Sens in Burgundy region (in France) in a very nice house with a guest room so you are welcome if we are here ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Julien and I have completely opposite taste in music. I like rock, folk and indie music (these days I listen Metronomy, Bon Iver, Gorillaz, Phoenix, Jose Gonzales and David Bowie).
Julien prefers reggae music and french singers.

I love to read french classics (Dumas, Victor Hugo, Camus) but this year I discovered Bill Bryson's "Walk in the woods" and I now read all his books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 1 week trip on the zambeze river (in zimbabwe) in canoe: you row fast in front of a crocodile! Also, the plane company didn't find our luggage. Having just one t-shirt and some flip flops with you, makes you realize that the ultimate comfort is to have a tooth-brush !
