Hi, my name is Colombine and I'm a 23-year-old French student in veterinary school. I'd like to work for the preservation of endangered species.
I'm optimistic, open-minded and very curious by nature.
I'm used to traveling and Couchsurfing with friends.
My next trip will be with my very good friend Michel.

Born in Italy and raised on Reunion Island, Michel developed a taste for travel, meeting new people and cultural exchange at an early age. After studying physiotherapy in Spain for 4 years, he is now back in France, where he is working towards his equivalence to work as a physiotherapist. He's 24 years old and very funny, generous and honest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're on Couchsurfing to travel the world and meet new people. We love the sharing that Couchsurfing allows.
We think there's nothing better than visiting a city with one of its inhabitants and being at the heart of each country's culture.

I've already had some great Couchsurfing experiences, and I'd love to introduce Michel to this, for whom it will be his first time.

Interests

I love reading, watching Netflix, cooking. But my real passion is travelling!
I also like sewing, doing puzzles and organizing life-size games.

As for Michel, he loves sports in general, especially racket sports (padel, beach tennis, badminton...), running, Japanese culture, piano (very beginner level), music, reading, sunsets and sunrises.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big Harry Potter fan (especially the books). My favorite singer is Ed Sheeran. I read lots of different books (The Little Prince is still one of my favorites).

One of Michel's favorite films is Narnia, but also Spirit, because like him, he has always cherished his freedom.
As far as books are concerned, the Autre Monde saga (Maxime Chattam) made a big impression on him and took him on a journey, as did the Shadowhunters saga (Cassandra Clare), although he was a little disappointed by the film and series adaptation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled in Scotland with two friend. We hitchhiked, did couchsurfing and camped in the wild. We camped at Nest Point on the isle of Skye, under the bridge we see in the Harry Potter movies and on the banks of Loch Ness in which we bathed. What an adventure!

One evening on the way home from sport with his father, Michel and him hit a deer crossing the road... seeing that it couldn't get up, they took it home and Michel slept in the same room as it to try to reassure it and make sure it didn't do anything stupid. It wasn't a very restful night, but the experience was worth it: Michel can say he slept in the same room as a deer!

Teach, Learn, Share

We can both help you learn French. I can also teach you basic sewing. I'm currently learning Italien and I would love to improve my level.

Michel can teach Italian and Spanish. He considers his English level to be in need of improvement and would also like to pick up some German again.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences and travel tips. I can also teach you French and basic sewing. I love to cook and I would be delighted to share French recipes.

Michel also loves to talk about travel. He is a qualified physiotherapist and can offer advice on certain biomechanical problems.
