I'm an architect, researcher, traveller, language geek and general enthusiast. I live in beautiful Strasbourg. I love discovering places from uncommon points of view.
I've grown up with a French father and a German mother - being bilingual is for me one of the most precious things my parents gave me. I'm the oldest of four brothers and sisters - a life-long lasting survival training and a wonderful experience.
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 - please read the my home section if you want to know more. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To start giving back.
To meet you all around the world, whether you want to visit me, meet me for a coffee or you allow me to stay at your home. Food and laughs are included from my side.

Interests

Music, arts, architecture, discover new places and cultures. Street art. Hiking and cycling. Adventure in general.
Clarinet and capoeira, a brasilian martial art. Reading, cooking and creating things with my hands when I find the time for it.

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!
Studying the urban impact of the US-Mexican border for three years during my master's.
