I'm an architect, researcher, traveller, language geek and general enthusiast. I love discovering places from uncommon points of view. I've grown up bilingual french-german, which is one of the most precious things my parents gave me. I'm interested in cultural exchange and meeting new people. For me, Couchsurfing is a way to have that exchange through a logic of giving and taking. :)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hundreds of kilometers cycling. Hitchhiking on a tractor. Healing from several chronic illnesses through discovering the power of food. Living for a year in Tübingen, Germany when I was 18 with 52 people in the same house, with 2-persons-bedrooms and a tiny shared kitchen. That's when I got first introduced to Couchsurfing!
