Generally speaking I have a mixed personality. I can be quite active and outgoing sometimes, meanwhile sometimes I prefer to spend time reading a book in a cozy room with a cup of tea or strolling in a park on my own. I really enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. One of my favourite things is to have a chat with people of different cultures, exchanging our thoughts and ideas--I'm never tired of this!

I lived in five countries: China, the UK, France, Belgium and Switzerland. After moving around in Europe for the past 5 and a half years, I came to Shenzhen for work and settle down for a while. No matter what the future holds, there is one thing I know for sure: I want to see more of this amazing world and keep meeting interesting people along the way!

I'm a clean and tidy person, if you ever host me, I will make sure to respect your space and your place is neat :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I like travelling and meeting people from different backgrounds. For me, travelling is more than just visiting tourist attractions; it is also about knowing the lives and culture of the local people. Couch surfing is a good way to know about what local peoples' lives are like. Another great thing is I can make friends!

Also, I really like the value of Couchsurfing: sharing, non-profit, hospitality, trust, building bridges between souls and cultures. This platform is like a beam of light in this seemingly more and more cold and conflicting world.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I did comfort zone challenge: Basically it's doing something that makes you uncomfortable (out of your comfort zone) to be more confident and braver. I lied down on the ground in a market and a train station, howled on a square full of people, gave hi-fives to strangers and hugged strangers ;-) I know it might sound a bit weird but I felt happy and liberated doing these challenges! I also met a nice friend when doing comfort zone challenges ;-)

A randomn encounter in the Louvre in Paris. I just started talking to a guy out of the blue, and it turned out to be great. We are still in touch, I visited his family in the Nantes region of France. He's hitchhiking across Europe now, and we met up coincidentally in Porto, Portugal. Encounters and coincidences like this make life beautiful.
