CURRENT MISSION

life's a lesson, you learn it when you're through

ABOUT ME

I'm a chemical engineer so one day I'll be able to save the world ;-)
for my studies in France I selected environmental engineering, hoping it will get me closer to my goal (=

Me and my flatmate have the policy of not hosting any males without friends or references. Hope you understand...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea about meeting locals and staying with strangers because there is so much to learn from people who are different. Plus you get the best advice on what to visit.
As a host I sometimes even learn something new about my city, especially when couchsurfers are attracted by an event I would not have noticed otherwise.

I've hosted, surfed and attended one CS party.
