I am curious, always interested in discovering new things, that is probably why I like to travel so much.

I grew up in France, studied in Spain, worked in England and volunteered in Italy. I now live in Slovakia. I aim at finding a way of living that would let me travel as much as possible.

That's not all about me. If you want to find out some more, read my references or get in touch!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting local people when I'm abroad to get to know more about the places I visit and to practise the language.
When I settle down, I'm happy to host CSers and show them around.

Interests

I DO:
- Travel with a low environmental impact. I prefer trekking, cycling, hitch-hiking and using trains or buses to taking a plane.
Last travelling experience: solo biking trip around Neusiedl lake (UNESCO) from Bratislava through Austria and Hungary.

I LIKE:
- Sunsets. (I think that I would like sunrises as well if only I could get up that early).
- Theatre and literature.
- Languages and linguistics.
- Arts and crafts with recycled items.
- Outdoor activities in natural surroundings.
- Food, with a preference for fruit and vegetables.
- Popular manifestations in general: proverbs, folkloric music and dance, rural festivities...
- And most of all, I like to laugh!
