ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurous person. I grew up in a multicultural atmosphere. I lived in different countries and traveled more than 50 countries. I like meeting people and learning about their culture and dreams. I'm always up to have great discussions on any topics.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is the best way to discover and better understand others cultures. I like meeting new people who become friends for life. I do think that each person is unique and has something in particular to offer to the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I might be addicted to CS. I love the experience of meeting a stranger which becomes a friend for life. I met great people I still have contact with.
Besides, I showed Paris to travelers showing them around and telling them about history and culture. It's a nice way to meet people from all over the world. I like transmitting the love I have for my city and learn about who they are and their culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I gave guide tours of Paris. As a graduate in History at the Sorbonne, I like to show Paris to travelers and tell them about the tips and the tricks as well as the history of my hometown.

Interests

I'm interested in many things, especially culture, history, heritage and nature. What I like the most is culture as that shapes our world and is at core of our identity! Moreover, I like to visit new places and to feel the atmosphere of the place I visit with locals.
