ABOUT ME

Travelling is what I like the most ! Between two travels, I really enjoy meeting people from different countries to share experiences of the countries we have visited.

I am also really fond of languages, which I try to practice as much as I can and outdoor activities (hiking, biking, running). I had a bike trip experience with 2 friends in the USA, which made me feel like hitting the road again soon !

Oh yeah, I must say that I am also very proud to come from Brittany !

PHILOSOPHY

Dalc'h mat ! (Hold on!)
Motto of the town of Douarnenez, home of my family

"Muere lentamente quien no viaja"
"Arriesga hoy, no te dejes morir lentamente, no te olvides te ser feliz!"
Pablo Neruda

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate in CS events in London, especially for language-related groups. I am teaching French in exchange of learning Chinese/German.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just a few... ! Used to host more when I had my own flat in Lyon, France - Splendid experience of CS in Indonesia, I was very positively surprised how dynamic is the CS community there!
