ABOUT ME
Hey everyone !

I'm a 25 year old, I'm a design student interested about social design, travel, hitchhiking, adventure and many other things.

I from Paris, but I left 5 years ago to discover several place!
Last year, I took a year off before to begin my master degree to build and feed my design practice by different experiences, exploring different fields. I had this need to get a new breath to one more time ask myself who I am, what I really want to do and why.
My journey started in Canada, where I worked in an organic farm by wwoofing, discovering another practice and system of production.
Then, I spent: 6 months in New York worked with an artist, activist, designer after what I crossed the south of U.S. only by hitchhiking with my sister, my god, this was crazy!

Back in Europe, I decided to use my last free months in Berlin, I worked there for an architecture office during the week and lived in clubs during the weekend haha.

Now I'm back in a "serious" life, I'm currently doing my master at the Design Academy of Eindhoven (Netherlands) where I study social design :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
