About Me

Short, smiling, and often talking - really fast apparently... especially when it's about things I'm really passionate about.
I like talking about food & wine (as French do), African politics and current affairs, but also pretty much anything else - I love to learn about new topics! My boyfriend says I am a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning. I'm always up for a drink or good food (or a combination of the two).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed a couple of times, always wonderful experiences. I think it's a great way to meet new people and discover new places "from the inside" instead of seeing only the touristic spots. I think it's great that it's getting wider: I never believed I'd be able to couch-surf in Bobo Dioulasso (Burkina) but I did :)

Interests

A lot of stuff! Doing lists of things I like is not one of them, it's so much more interesting to talk about it in person. Don't you agree?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing an active volcano (Nyiragongo in Eastern DRC) and get to see one of the largest lava lakes in the world.

Good wine, good food, and interesting discussions!
