About Me

Born in Normandy, I moved in Briançon (In the Alps) a year ago.

I can speak French, English and Spanish, and a few words of Russian, German and Italian.

I like travelling, abroad or in France, meeting other people and discovering other cultures.

I spent my Erasmus in Sofia (Bulgaria), and had a really good experience there.
Later on I've worked in Northern Ireland for a Game of Thrones tour company for about two years.

I listen to a lot of music and watch many movies and series.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, as a host or a guest, is a really interesting idea for me as I love discovering new cultures and share experiences.

I've hosted 4 or 5 persons in Chambery, 2 people in Ireland, and 1 in Briançon so far.
I've also experienced workaway in Scotland and Wales, as well as Warmshowers in Switzerland.

Interests

I love practicing and watching Football, I played for a long time and used to be a football referee.
Nowadays I mostly live for Cycling. I'm riding my bike as soon as I can, on a daily basis. It is for me the best way to discover new corners or just to move to another place.

I also like yoga, reading, and drawing.
