ABOUT ME

I am 24, lively but quiet. I love reading, eating good food while drinking good wine and talking. I love walking in the streets of big cities, visiting museums -i am interested in arts- and going to the movie theater. I love the sun, more than the cold but I love the quietness of a winter landscape. I love water -lakes, oceans, rivers, and drinking water. I think I am pretty easy going. I love cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can lend my couch, cook for you and show you around (Yale campus. I am also looking for couches when I travel around the States.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've participated in couch surfing since I arrived in the US last August but I will definitely continue when I am back in Europe even if it's busy to host in Paris! I hosted two German girls once in New Haven. It was really nice. They made a really good soup!I've been to a french guy's in Washington DC, we hung out together and he showed us (I was with a friend) the town. We shared our experiences of "expatriate" people. We also had dinner with another couch surfer in DC, good salvadorian food, and he gave good tips about L.A, which is one my future travel plans.And then Chicago, a beautiful experience, where I met amazing people.
And finally, Burlington, Vermont, where I had never been so cold but our host were a very warming person.
