Hi! My name is Claire, I'm a French student girl learning Russian, now travelling through Europe.
I'm a simple girl, enjoying discovering and creating, learning new things, watching a movie or a video without knowing what it's gonna be about, hearing people experiences, going to unexpected places, playing the piano and the violin, drawing little fish or eventually somebody's face. I guess this is what I enjoy the most in life (with chocolate and snow) - and you, who are you? ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started learning Russian two years ago and decided to reach a Native level. So I came to Ukraine, and from Kiev, I unexpectedly started travelling around... so here I am! I had wonderful experiences on Couchsurfing, hope to live many others!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most extraordinary thing I experienced is the four-weeks internship during which I learnt how to build a kerterre (kind of igloo shaped little house, easily made by hands; you can find the site online). For these four weeks, I lived in the nature near the ocean with one group, learning, eating, playing music, going to the beach together; it was a period out of time, absolutely enriching, when we could create, be truly ourselves and share knowledges and passions. Enjoy living!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with languages, music or drawing, and you can share me anything you love, I'm eager to discover and learn new things!

What I Can Share with Hosts

All I love! If we have commun hobbies, we can discuss or practice together - I especially adore playing music with people! If you love art, movies, languages learning, cooking or whatever, let's have fun together!
