About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and make the most of it !

ABOUT ME

I'm resident in Public Health Medicine, aiming to work in the Infectious Diseases field (as clinician and researcher) for NGOs.
I try to be a willing, open-minded, easy going and happy person (Ok my jokes suck a bit but at least I try!)

PHILOSOPHY

Never judge people based on who they're supposed to be. Learn to know them by yourself first. And then, still don't judge !
"Go green !" : As many people say, we do not own Earth, we lend it to our children.
"Who run the world ? Girls !" : I'm a feminist and I'm not afraid to say it, it's not a swear word, it just means that women should have the same rights than men , and not only on papers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've already met quite a lot of people from this amazing community and taken part in almost all the CS events organised in my city. So far, I've hosted people from Germany, Slovenia, Slovaquia, Spain and New Zealand. We had a great time ! I'm also promoting CS everytime I'm travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed twice during the Cherbourg Invasion and the "Soup Fest" Meeting in Lille., 6 times in Ireland in 2011 and 2 times in Bosnia. Many different people, different couches, different stories and different ways of thinking the CS concept but always good experiences !
