Overview
About Me
Hello! I just moved to Nantes! Before i lived in Spain, Austria, Germany...and traveled a lot by bicycle! I cycled about 16,000km across various countries and now i decided to settle in the beautiful city of Nantes. Looking forward to meeting people and making new friends!
🏳️🌈LGBT-friendly
To introduce myself a bit more, I started travelling solo in May 2017 and since then I’ve been on many trips on my own on different continents. I felt in love with life on the road and unexpected adventures. At first I was only backpacking but last year I did a 8000km bike trip 🚴🏻♀️ in Europe across 18 countries 🇪🇺I wrote a book in French about it and it was published in March 2020!
Meanwhile I started to become preoccupied about the environment and I tried out the zero-waste lifestyle for a while 🔄 I learned how to make my own cosmetics (toothpaste, shampoo, make-up...) and I travelled for 50 days across Spain and Morocco with my homemade products. I did the same for the bike trip. Last year I published my master thesis on eco-design and now I’m sure I definitely want to work in sustainability! 🤗
I am also making youtube videos to share my writings (poetry), trip videos and short documentaries: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaL5SqHcbVMZaPCXZB27zSQ
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
