About Me

ABOUT ME

Born in France and a true citizen of the world, I've called some of the world's most vibrant cities home - from London (8 years) to LA, San Francisco, Melbourne, and now NYC (15 years). My passion for exploration isn't just about checking off destinations; it's about immersing myself in the heartbeat of each place I visit.

A multilingual adventurer with a laid-back spirit and boundless curiosity, I find joy in life's simple pleasures. Whether I'm experimenting in my kitchen, losing myself in a good book on a quiet beach, or exploring remote corners of the Amazon rainforest, I approach each experience with genuine enthusiasm and openness. I am a lover of rich cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to understand a place is through its people. I'm here to forge authentic connections, share stories over home-cooked meals, and exchange perspectives on art, culture, and life. My goal is to meet fellow travelers who might become lifelong friends, creating meaningful memories along the way.

Interests

My passions reflect my love for both culture and active living:
Arts & Culture: Visual arts, design, world music, cultural exploration
Active Living: Running, swimming, cycling, dancing
Creative Pursuits: Cooking, photography, reading
Simple Pleasures: Beach days, good conversations, discovering local hangouts

Music, Movies, and Books

My playlist is as diverse as my travels. But mostly listen to chill out music, and good mix from time to time from chill out radios and good DJs from around the world.
