ABOUT ME

I'm Gwen, I am a french girl, 27 years old. I was living in Palaiseau in the suburbs of Paris, doing a PhD in Physics for solar energy, before leaving for a 4 month-trip in Argentina and New Zealand ! I hope our path can cross. I am not necessary looking for hosts everywhere I travel, but would be glad to hanghout sometimes in the cities I am visiting !

PHILOSOPHY

Reading and traveling are the best ways to fight against irrespect and stupidity

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted lots of awesome people when I was living in Berlin. After having experienced hosting, I can't wait to travel by couchsurfing and meet hosts that are ready to teach me about their country, city and culture.

Interests

As every one on this website I think, I am the kind of girl that likes travelling, hiking, discovering new cultures, new ways of thinking, new languages, and, most of all, new people.

In my daily life, appart from being a research scientist, I am an amateur photographer, always seeking for the best landscapes and moments to catch. I also cannot travel without my guitar, the best way to share culture, experiences and good vibes !
I do longboard, and in winter I'm into snowboarding !
