Overview
About Me
I am citizen of the World who is always looking for more and more exciting experiences. I studied Tourism because I love to be in touch with people from different parts of the globe. I began to learn German but for me it was not enough so I started with totally different languages: French, Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese… at the moment I’m only able to speak fluently English, French and German but we will see in the future : )
My passion is travelling. There is no place I have been to that I am not in love with. Every country has its charm. For that reason, my dream would be to travel to every country in the world.
Now I can say, very proudly, that I'm fulfilling my dream: last November I left everything behind to travel the world. During the next 6 months you can find me in Mexico :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've got a friend who has been a couchsurfer for many years: she hosted and was hosted in different countries and she is very pleased with all the experiences she lived.
After trying it in Southeast Asia, I can only say good words of my hosts. It was an amazing experience!
Interests
As I said previously, I am crazy about travelling. Last years I had the possibility to do long trips to Central and South America. I enjoy really much the experience of getting in touch with different cultures and ways of understanding life. Moreover, I have the possibility of meting lots of interesting travellers and have a lot of fun sharing our time together.
I also love dancing. My new brand passion is lindy hop (for those who have never heard about it, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlTVJ9fOmro). I love the way this dance makes me feel: I forget everything and focus on the delighting music and the soft movements. It is a kind of feeling that it could be compared to happiness. Moreover, I have met amazing people there. So you can imagine that when I’m not at work, I am on the dance floor!
Furthermore, I also have got the hobbies of the common people: books, wine, films and tv series, cycling, street markets, green smoothies, swimming in the sea, sunbathing, having beers with friends, cooking, …
