Hello Couchsurfing community, I’m Clari, a free butterfly from France. Where in France ? Well, I lived in every part of France, I was born in Grenoble, I studied in Nantes and Lille, my parents live in Aix en Provence and last year I finished my studies in Paris.

Moving from a city to another in France was an opportunity to become more open-minded and be able to deal with any kind of issue. However, France stays France, and I'm convinced that moving away is a necessary experience to develop myself furthermore !

That's the reason why I decided last year, in April 2022, to get a job abroad and then travel for the next year. I arrived in the crazy city of Buenos Aires and stayed there for 7 months. Through Couchsurfing, I met strangers that became true friends, and my experience was so unique. Then I kept travelling alone in Argentina, in Bolivia and I came back to France from Brazil and the huge Rio de Janeiro in May 2023.

Now I settled in Barcelona, where I came for a job but mainly to be alive! Because everyday bring me a new passion I love exploring a new city and discover what it offers. Otherwise I always bring 2 books with me when I’m going for a walk, I love doing puzzle while listening to techno music and I started capoeira this year and already feel that I can teach anyone my ridiculous skills!

So if you want to know better me you can read this description but i do think it is better to try the real life with me!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover new ways of living
To experience unexpected events (good or less good)
To learn about crazy stories
To avoid tourist traps !!!
