ABOUT ME

I've been living in London for 1,5 years and just decided to leave and travel the world.
Central America sounds fascinating to me and this is where I will start my trip. I want to travel slowly, and take time to get to know the people I meet and share moments with.

I have worked 4 years for ActionAid, In france and in the UK. This NGO defends human rights, with a specific focus on women rights.
I will volunteer with ActionAid Guatemala in April and May, so my trip in Guatemala will be split between volunteering work and free time to experience and get to know the country.

I love traveling, going to festivals, meeting new people, buying my food on the market, street art, theater. I dance a lot, this is a key part of my life. I do a lot of improvised dances, to express my emotions.

PHILOSOPHY

Apage la TV, vive tu vida

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have travelled one year in South America and Asia 5 years ago and this is how I experienced couchsurfing for the first time. This was amazing. I found it so great to live in other's people house and to meet so many fantastic people that I promised myself I would do the same once back to France. I have thus hosted a few people myself once back home but I was living in a small city in France so not that many people were interested :)

Interests

Travels, festivals like Burning Man and Nowhere, theater, dance, yoga, meditation, speaking to strangers, Butoh, spirituality.
Charity work, women's rights, how to fight for a better world, how to go beyond our fears, what's happening with the refugees in Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
