About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to wonder, to laugh, to discover!

ABOUT ME

I'm a very curious, friendly and I'd like to think, funny person! I like to: laugh until my stomach hurts, make new friends, have discussions about anything and everything, open myself up to new perspectives, go on adventures, explore nature, cook (and eat of course!) and just enjoy other people's company! I'm a big literature, art and music lover too :)

I am currently teaching English in France. Two years ago, I was doing the same thing in Taipei, Taiwan. I guess you could say I have a bit of "wanderlust!" Since coming here, I have gained so many new perspectives about the world and I am eager to learn more! If there is one thing I can't get enough of, it's knowledge. There is so much to know and explore, so much that can't be discovered anywhere else except in the country itself, that I want to see it and try it all. Through travel and dialogues with new friends, exploring cultures and engaging with the unknown, I'm on a journey to become a real citizen of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

With every new word you learn, every new sound you hear, every new taste, every new person, place and idea you encounter... your world gets a little bigger, a little brighter and a whole lot more colorful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing last year, and had so many incredible experiences because of it. I also made a lot of new friends! Couchsurfing fosters trust, friendship and altruism, and for that it is amazing!

Interests

Meeting new people, exploring nature, profound yet random discussions with strangers, cooking, discovering new culinary delights, learning languages, spending time with animals (especially rabbits), enjoying art, films and music, discussing philosophy, reading and writing, lending a helping hand whenever I can, living in the moment, and always aiming to expand my horizons.
