I am a student in Perfumery. I have just validated my bachelor in the area and am therefore taking a gap year before starting my master. Basically i learned to smell, recognize the different raw materials which are used to make perfumes. I also learned and will learn to mix those materials in order to create perfumes.

I am mostly interested in natural raw materials and oils and their properties - how to heal with essential oils and vegetal oils and have done internships in cosmetic companies doing those jobs. So to recap all those infos i love to make soaps, creams, perfumes, balms to heal and take care of the skin and wildlier the body.

I also really like to draw and play sports. I love Yoga, swimming, running, cycling, hiking, dancing and skiing. Although i might not be so good in them i love any other outdoor sports ;)
I like to play and teach children - and have quiet a lot of experience in the area (babysitting, tutoring, (scouts), being the eldest of the family...
Finally taking care of animals is something i love doing alothough i only have experience in milking and taking care of goats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Coach surfing because i am taking a gap year, going around northern europe and if possible all the way to Mongolia ! i am on a very short budget and traveling alone so i'd love to meet people. I want to get in touch with locals to get a better insight of the culture of the different countries i travel to. I guess couch surfing can give me the opportunity to meet people and get this knowledge !
