22 yo living in NYC this year, eager to discover new countries, people and cultures. I grew up in south-eastern France and moved to Paris a few years ago to study theater and become a comedian. In parallel I also made double Bachelor studies in English and in German at the Sorbonne-Nouvelle university in Paris and am now doing Masters studies in American Literature.

I've been twice au-pair in an American family near San Fransisco to teach French to a little girl (2-month periods) when I was a teenager. It was both times really thrilling since I was still quite young and had never been to the US before. I also worked as a waiter for two months in Germany in a hotel/restaurant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd be very glad to meet people from all over the world. I was part of a German-speaking theater group in Paris, in which people came from various countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, China. It is a really nice experience, and it made me wish to meet people from everywhere! I'd be glad to welcome anyone in Paris! Plus I start to travel more and more in Europe . I have been to Poland for a vacation last summer. I am an active member of an organization that promotes exchanges between France and Romania. I go there every summer to give theater classes to young children from Bucharest and we create a show together (last year was The Tempest, by Shakespeare).
