About Me

After 6 months studying English and Dutch, I went in Norway for a working holiday during 4 months when I was 18. Then, I spent few years in university before becoming a geography teacher since september 2017.
Beside my job, I love sport challenges. Pushing the limits of my body, training and improving while being outside are the elements that make me happy.
I always try to keep my eyes opened. It's convenient not to fall when you walk (ahah). But seriously, I observe everything because I don't want to miss anything. I like seeing and understanding the world around me (nature, plants, animals, the sky, buildings, people,connexions,...)

I'm on CS in ordre to meet people during my trips to spend fun time, talk, share experiences,... Plus, I'm not a big fan of hotels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I registered, I needed to find hosts for my biketrip from Belgium to Brittany (France). I absolutely loved the experience of CS durant this strip and I'd like to meet as much couchsurfer as possible when I am on vacation. I think it's a great different way to travel and meet locals.

Interests

Connexions ! "Happiness is only real when shared". Can't imagine a great life without friends to share the fun, the joy, the beauty of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Any melody which brings good vibes but mostly electro and also rock, french rap,...
Books: I don't often read but my favorite book is "The alchimist" of Paulo Coelho as I like stories about travels, spiritual journeys.
Movie: I'm a huge fan of historical and fantastic series and movies such as Gladiator, Viking, Got, LotR, Master and Commander, Vice, Braveheart, Hidden Figures,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving home at 18yo and going to Norway alone for 4 months was a great experience which allowed me to learn english and become an adult.
In April 2019, I did a biketrip from home to join friends in Brittany (France). I covered 683km in 6days sleeping by couchsurfers. It was a great sportive challenge but also an interesting experience as I traveled alone.

What I Can Share with Hosts
