Hi, I am Ilse from France. After my study and before settling down I am taking one year to travel around Europe. I started my journey in Italy in January 2023 then went to Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina. For some months I went to Bali Indonesia and now I am back I would like to finish my European tour ( Czech Republic, Austria, Hongaria, Albania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece).

I lived in Germany for some years and I spent a lot of time in Slovenia, I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I am travelling to see different landscape (I love nature), experience different cultures, meet different people and learn new social and technical skills.
I volunteered in France, Italy, Croatia for some months as a Workawayer. I helped people in their project and stayed at their place.
I use Couchsurfing when I want to visit some cities and discover the history of a place or when I have some days to spend and want to use them meeting new people!
I am organized, minimalist and eat mostly vegan food ( vegetarian is also fine).
I like discussing about a lot of topics and just curious to meet others!

When coming back to France I would be pleased to welcome you!

I usually use Workaway for volunteering. You can have a look at my profil: https://www.workaway.info/en/workawayer/Ilse/overview

Please guys remember that Couchsurfing is not a online dating or a hook-up app!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not interested in crowded tourist attractions. The three reasons why I love travelling are people, cultures and nature. And the best way to explore a place is to experience it with locals because so, you can create a real link with it.

Being on Couchsurfing means also supporting an alternative economy I believe in, based on trust, collaboration and exchange more than on profit and individualisme.
