About Me

I enjoy long talks and debates about society/politics, books, or anything else :)
I'm also vegan and I like to cook ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people so if i can host them, it would be a pity to let them pay for a hotel !

Interests

I'm very curious and have many, many interests...

In general, i'm interested in politics, society, and ethics.
Strong egalitarian convictions ! And I feel very concerned by environmental issues too.

Some activities I enjoy :
- Photography
- Drawing (I'm bad, but I would like to improve myself !)
- Painting (same)
- Hiking ( despite the fact that i'm not really a sportsperson ! But I love being in nature, and i love mountains)
- Reading
...

I'm also a blogger, but I write in french only

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't say I've done anything amazing...but i've done some interesting things !

I've been in Togo in 2012 to build ecological latrines. We've met wonderful people and it was a very important experience for me. Thanks to that, I've discovered the good points but also some bad aspects of humanitarian work.

In 2013 participated in a herring-gull rescue program in Brittany (France) for two weeks. It was organized by Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and a wildlife center. I took care of gulls : feeding them, cleaning their run etc.

In October and November 2017, I went to Madagascar to meet a friend who was living there. We discovered places with a very few tourists, and learned a lot about this country with so many resources and yet one of the poorest in the world... and i had the chance to explore the Makay mountains

Countries I’ve Visited

Denmark, England, Germany, Italy, Madagascar, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Togo, United States
