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.
