** Only available to host during the first half of August 2024**

I'm a freelance translator (EN-FR) and copywriter who loves to move around :)

I live in my hometown of Paris, and I lived in Brighton, UK for over 5 years. I love visiting friends abroad, discovering new places and being able to hop on a train to somewhere new.

As a translator, I love languages and I'm currently brushing up on my Italian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I work by myself and I'd love to meet new people on my travels.
I also have a wealth of insider knowledge about Paris that I'd love to share with those who come to visit my city :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking veggie dishes. I’m also fond of talking about cultural differences, languages, what life is like in different countries... One of my favourite subjects is how language shapes the way we think.
I also love playing board games, going on long walks, and singing/making music.
