Hello, my name is Fanny and I am a 23 yo French student. How to describe myself ? This is hard, actually :)

I love language and communication, which is why I'm studying to become a Speech Therapist.

I'm quite a dreamer and optimistic person.
I love philosophy, questioning myself constantly about what life is.
I'm cheerful, spontaneous, sensitive.

I'm also a very curious person. I love to help people in wwoofings so I can be useful and learn new skills while meeting inspiring people.

I have a huge thirst for adventures since I started backpacking a few years ago. This passion for the world, and need to discover it has never left me. I'd like to spend my whole life travelling and have experiences of all kinds.

My main hobbies are music, singing, medecinal plants, and travels, though I have other interests, and feel like learning new things everyday.

I want to enjoy life, to make the most of it :) As we say, Carpe Diem 🌱☀

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living for experiences of all kinds !

Hospitality is very generous. I thought this was forgotten but I see on this app that people are willing to host travellers to actually know them, and I love that :)
To be able to meet and discuss with people from all around the world is my actual vision of travelling !
Since I started using CS, I've always wanted to travel this way, because it's really much what I'm looking for in any trips :)

I would also love to connect with CS people in Caen/Normandie and France ! Because there are so many interesting people on this app, why only meet them while traveling, if we can also meet up inside our own city/region/country ?
The app offers this opportunity, so I'm thinking let's take it aha , and we can also discover Normandie together, then we travel even in our own place ;)

Interests

I'm curious about everything. I love having conversations about the world and learning a lot from others, hearing their stories, sharing our views about life. I get inspiration from every person I meet and this is really something I love and care about.

I'm passionated by herbal medecine and try to learn about plants and their transformation into natural remedies.

I learn about music therapy for my future job. I'd like to use music as a tool for helping people who lost speech for neurological reasons.

I also would like to animate philosophy "workshops" for children in schools.

Overall, I always got many projects in mind !
