About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Back to France

ABOUT ME

I moved to New York last August to get professional experience in an architecture office for one year. But it's not only a "professional experience", it's also about discovering another country which is so vast and so rich, meeting new people, learning from another culture, starting another way of life...

Now, I'm coming back to France to finish my Master Degree but New York will find me back very quickly!

I am very easy going and I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their lifestyles. I am spontaneous and I am always up for trying new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your dream, do not dream your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent a year in United States and couch surfing was a great experience!
Now I'm coming back to France where couchsurfing is not developped as well as United States, so it's my turn and my mission to host people from everywhere and developp couchsurfing in France!

So this seems to be a good time to come!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to couchsurfing, I discovered US through local people, it was really great and I met fabulous people!!!
Now I hope I could host you guys!

Interests

I love traveling, obviously.

I love architecture and this is very related to travel for me. It's when I discover new cities and landscapes I learn the most!

And I like arts, sports (I did ballet for a long time), reading, cooking, cinema, theater, philosophy, music (I play the piano), hang out, long conversations with new people...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm pretty sure when my US West Coast road trip will be done, this field will be overfilled!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French, some ballet movements. I can play piano for you (but I don't bring my piano in my bag all around the world! I also love cooking and share recipes.

I'm learning: how to speak English like an American (yes! I need to improve my French accent!), how to knit correctly, how to sleep anywhere, how to leave New York without crying, how to travel without twice as many things that I needed...
