I love traveling, exploring the world, meeting new people. I'm curious about eveything and I love to learn! I studied philosophy, literature and film-making, and I am now a digital nomad, coding apps and websites as I travel Asia. I am hitchhiking a lot and love to go off the beaten tracks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the amazing human experiences it brings up! I love to meet plenty of people and their different universes. Couchsurfing and hitchhiking lead to a more intense and human way of travelling, and I am always amazed by the countless blessings, magical encounters, funny situations, and beautiful moments it creates.

When I explore a country, I love to discover its culture, its language, its people, their ways of living, of thinking, the way society works... and I love to meet fellow travellers too ! Couchsurfing is amazing for this. And when I finally get a home, I'd love to give a roof to fellow couchsurfers.

Every day on the road is full of wonders!
So I have many -- maybe I will tell you some if we meet :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a programmer, so I can help you learn how to code or how to create a website! :)

Also, if you need a website and don't want to create it yourself, I am open to do exchanges (create a website for free in exchange for longer accomodation). Here's my website : https://claradev.org/ Though for the website to be online, you'd need to rent a domain name and host the website on a server (about 50$/year).

I'm always happy to share travel tips and hitchhiking tips. :)

And I love to learn all kinds of new things!
