Overview
About Me
Hi ! I'm a french young graduate in entrepreneurship and project management (but you'll see I don't espect to work in this field). My ambition is to explore France and Europe by train, on foot and by bike to prove that it is possible to escape without taking the plane or going to the other side of the world! Neo-traveler, I consider myself as open-minded, I have at heart to meet people and share with them friendly moments :)
I'm redactor and journalist for young press and I'd like to pursue a career in the ecology medias. My travels and the meets that I make in each of them are a great source of inspiration.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Travelling alone is a good opportunity for me to meet many people. CS is a great way to exchange with locals so as to discover a country differently. I like the idea to share a house and spend time with people for some days, without expecting money, because generosity never killed nobody ! I also think that locals are the best advisers and tourism guides, and show us spots that we couln't find in any book guide. Is there any best way to discover a new culture ? I doubt it ;)
Travelling in Europe is also the occasion to improve my level in english.
As a host, I want you to feel like at home, and I would be happy to show you a bit of Paris and cook for breakfast or dinner !

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen a lot of music, and various styles ! Pop, french rap, rock, house, techno... I think I could danse on (almost) anything ! I love spending time with my friends listening to music and singing/dancing, it's a way to share good moments.
I read many books and graphic novels, and, as for the music, I do not have a favourite type ! I like thrillers as much as lighters novels. Lately, I've been reading essays about ecology and I appreciate debating on the ideas.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
During my years of school, I had the opportunity to travel and discover many places all over the world. I spent most of my summers in holiday camps ⛺. Sharing moments with locals and taking the time to admire the nature are my favourite moments.
In 2022, I co-directed a documentary about cycling and how bicycle can be a wonderful tool for societal, environmental and urban transition (@lesrouesdelavenir). During the filming, we've decided to bike travel in France for 3 days, and this experience litteraly changed my way of seeing life ! Since, I 'm seeking for adventures and a way of life that respects the nature (well, it's a future big goal).
Teach, Learn, Share
Since I studied french pastry and, in general, I love to cook, I can teach you come french dishes (by the way, I'm vegetarian) :)
I'd like to improve my skills in photography, and travelling is one of the best way to practice. I'm also into all kinds of arts, even if I'm not very good at it, I think it's an incredible way to express and share emotions.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Meal, breakfast, inspiring conversations and a comfortable mattress :)
