Hi there !

My name is Estelle, I’m 20 years old and I was born in the south of France. I also grew up on an island called Mauritius (in the Indian Ocean).

After my bachelor, I came back to France to study Anthropology, but soon stopped in order to meet cultures in real life. This led me to go on a trip hitchhiking and playing music around South America, which lasted a year and a half. Then I crossed the Atlantic various time on sailing boats (from Caribbean to France and from Greenland to Argentina), which was a really life-changing experience !!

During my travels, I volunteered a couple of times, be it in farms, hostels or artistic projects. I enjoy this form of exchange, and being able to travel helping other people and feeling useful.
I am very open to new activities, always curious to discover your way of living and share stories. I like clear communication, and I always try to be as reliable and flexible as possible.

Apart from music, I love teater, cinema, sailing, reading, plastic arts (i do collage), cooking, hiking, surfing, yoga, psychology, philosophy, sports, astronomy and many more things... Recently I also really got interested into polar adventures and exploration and I got projects around that.

Finally, people usually say about me that I’m spontaneous, atypical and funny. I think that I’m in love with life, and that’s why I want to live it to the fullest !!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to share, discover and laught... Have new experiences and meet new people, with different views and lifes :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nearly dying after cooking with a wrong plant… !

Staying in a crazy community in the Amazon Forest !

Sailling in the Patagonian Canals and throught Cape Horn !

Crossing the Atlantic on a boat

Walking in Greenland 200km on my own...

I surely have other stories to tell, but you better ask me :p

Teach, Learn, Share

I learned Toki Pona (which is a newspeak invented by a linguistic to make communication minimalist and easy).
I know that we're only a few people on the internet to speak it, but I still dream that one day I'll meet someone who also speaks it, maybe you do !?

Also really wanting to learn Greenlandic.
And if you speak Sign Language I would be glad to practice with you !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chatting, cooking, and maybe creating together !

If you also play an instrument or sing, we could jam together :)
