*** I will be backpacking in Myanmar from Jan 26th to Feb 14th. Don't hesitate to contact me! ***

Hi my name is Claire, I'm French.

I travel a lot and I am very easy to get along with.
I like to discover new cultures and people, go out, and I love cities and partying I much as I enjoy being lost in the middle of nowwhere with a backpack.

I travel both with my friends and by myself and when I do so, I use couchsurfing because it is a good way to meet people. Recently I have used couchsurfing when travelling by myself in Chicago, Ill, in Reykjavik, Iceland and in Jordan. Other places I've been include China, Taiwan, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Morrocco, Tanzania, Oman, Libanon, and most of European countries :)

I live in a shared appartment in Paris so I cannot really host anyone (my couch does not unfold) but if you are really in need of a last minute place to crush and you don't care if it is not a four stars hotel don't hesitate to write me a message, you never know ;)

Thank you and looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel by myself and when I do, I use couchsurfing because it allows flexibility, which matches my sense of improvisation when backpacking :) Moreover, I find that the best way to visit a place is by being with locals and couchsurfing is a great way to meet people who are often of good advice and company ;) Most importantly, I love being around different people and getting to know them - this is the central part of my traveling experiences and since I am very easy to get along with, couchsurfing is the perfect option :)
Depending on the trip, I can use couchsurfing to find an accommodation or just to spend time with people during the day!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many!
Sleeping in a tent on a pink sand beach in Oman and waking up in the middle of baby turtles, take a swim in turquoise water first thing in the morning;
Being invited to a bedouin wedding in Jordan;
Being on a train for 4 days in China (I LOVE TRAINS :)) and becoming best friend with a 4 year old;
Camping by myself in the middle of the Wahiba desert in Oman;
Going on a 56 hours one-way trip with multiple layovers cause it was cheaper and I love airports;
Learning how to cook traditional meals with locals in multiple places - food brings people together! :)
Living on a secluded island in Laos for a month and teaching English to local kids
Being an exchange student in the US when I was 17 (that's when it all started ;)).
