About Me

Bonjour,
my name is Anaïs (but just "Anna" is also cool), I am French (35 years old).

I love all kinds of sports:
🏔 ski, roller, hiking,
🌊 surf :)
beach volley-ball 🏐

After a year of travelling the world, I decided to set up in Switzerland! Travelling made me realise what was really important to me: being surrounded by mountains to run, bike, and swim. I am currently working on a photography documentary (portraits mainly) to share the impact of ordinary people around Europe.

About my world tour (2018-2019)

I have been on a journey around the world to learn more about the Future of Education. On each country, I visited an interviewed school teachers, entrepreneurs and corporates. The big questions that I think need to be solved in Education:
1- How to help kids (and adults) find their purpose?
2- How to deal with the huge shift new tech (and especially AI) coming to our lives?

What do I like?
- Education, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Travelling (reading about it, meeting people with the same interests)
- Sports, any kind! Back in France, I was into Triathlon but now I am just running and doing daily workouts just to maintain my health and soul...
- Photography (I brought my Canon with me, and love B&W; portrait and night photography).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is a crazy community!!!
I trust locals over touristic guides, I love the unexpected out of a couch surfing stay.
For instance:
- in Denmark, I jumped on the water to rescue my guest sunglasses (I failed though)
- in Norway, one of my hosts invited me to try Kick Boxing // I met another girl from the US I went riding with and was one of the best day in my life //
I also like to give back so while travelling I am always up to cooking something for my host, or take a nice profile picture (since I like photography and have a rather good camera).
