I am French leaving in London for the past 11 years. I have decided to take a sabbatical as I was fed up with the daily routine ! I return from a 4 months trip to South America where I backpacker-ed from Ecuador to Chile. AMAZING time and lifetime experience !!. living in the Amazons in Ecuador, exploring the beauty of the Machu Picchu in Peru and the world biggest lake in Bolivia. Needless to say that I met the most inspiring and beautiful people along the way from whom I learnt a lot about life and how humble and grateful and considerate we should be towards each other.

Ok, Im now back in the UK and just qualified as a Personal trainer WOOHOO :-). I always been into sport and nutrition and I am now looking at working in this field....However, before going back to work I still have a couple of travels to do. And the country that has been on the top of my list for a while is Cuba....para un poco de salsa....LOL. I will be flying from Paris on May 11th and back on May 22nd. Therefore, I am currently looking for a host who will be able to offer a couch to surf on :-). It will also be a great opportunity to meet like-minded people, share experiences and in return offer my couch should you visit the city of Big Ben.( Please note, I will be settling back to London from July 2017 so not able to host until that time.)

Personality-wise, I am easygoing, reliable and open minded person with a positive attitude towards life ! I am very energetic, enthusiastic, into fitness and healthy eating !.

What I really enjoy during my travels is interacting with locals to get a real feel of their culture, customs and traditions. I find it very enriching, it is like food for the mind !. I love to stroll the streets early mornings, observing the locals in their daily routine: the workers having their coffee on their way to work, the lady setting up her fruits/ vegetables stall on the market, the shop owner opening his shop.

The only trip you will regret, is the one you don't take !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting like-minded people, interacting with locals while travelling . Making friends on different continents and exchanging life's experiences to grow wiser :-)
In return I can teach French, English, be your Personal Trainer for few hours :-). Or simply talk about non politically correct stuff drinking a nice glass of wine
