About Me

ABOUT ME

It's hard to describe myself in a few words, but let's give it a try : I'm a French expat' student, so I can study really hard, and be serious. But it's not the point of life isn't it ? So of course I love being crazy ! I'm full of life, always ready to do something, go somewhere, move, enjoy my life actually !

I left for one year in Canada in 2015 to study Neuroscience. That was my very first expatriation. It was great, I really enjoyed it and mostly because it showed me that I was going in the wrong direction (doesn't sound great anymore, does it ?) in my studies. So I decided to follow my lifetime dreams, and study marine biology ! After a year in Faro, Portugal, I am now on the second and last year of my master's degree, in Galway, Ireland :)

My dream would be to be able to become a researcher, in Marine Biology, most particularly in cetaceans behaviour and protection. And since I'm a scuba diver, I would love to combine those two passions :) I just want to enjoy my life, enjoy everyday as if it was the last, which I'm trying to do ! I just want to be happy, and live as deeply as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Guess it's just so perfect for me. To me travel is not about being in a hotel room, alone, resting, and doing nothing. Travel is not just a country, a city, it's the people in it. In that way, what could be better than Couchsurf ? Discovering a place, it's discovering the people in it, and their culture !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

_Leave Canada, stop everything to follow my dreams and study marine biology...
_Leave France for 2 years in Québec City, Canada, to study !
_Carry a fucking python on my shoulders in Vietnam !
_Scubadive, as much as I can, but each time, it's still amazing.
_And... it's too hard to select things ! Life's just amazing if we want it to be :)
