About Me

French expatriate in Germany (since 2014), after living in Scotland and briefly in Japan.
Always curious to discover new cultures, learn new languages and meet new people.
I'm a simple, quiet person, who can appreciate a 2-3 week trip to the mountains as much as an evening in front of the fire with 2-3 good friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting off the beaten track of mass tourism and getting to know the locals in a more authentic way. This often leads to rich cultural exchanges and wonderful encounters.

Interests

- Trekking in the mountains, running (10k and half-marathons), horseback riding
- Cooking/baking, barbecue with friends
- Travelling, discovering new cultures and food
- Learning new languages, reading History books
