About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World, here I come! Please note that I'm currently traveling around the world for several months, and unfortunately unable to host/meet you, but I'll let you know when I come back (if I come back!).

ABOUT ME

I am a French young woman who loves to travel and meet people from all over the world. I grew up in France and, at 18, left to go live in San Francisco, CA, where I spent 5 amazing years (some of the best years of my life). There, I realized how much I liked getting to know people with different background and stories; I also discovered a passion for traveling and decided I wanted to see the world and find out what it had to offer.

I am very grateful for I already had the chance to go to many beautiful places and created bounds with interesting, kind and generous people but it definitely made me crave for more!

I'm returning to CS after several years of inactivity, as I have the great chance to go travel the world for nearly a year with my fiancé Thomas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got introduced to CS by one of my best friends back in 2013 when we went to Amsterdam - the experience was so rich and so good that I decided to keep doing it and I am glad I did. I met amazing people wherever I went - from Luxemburg to Melbourne - they showed me their city around, shared their stories, partied with me. I laughed and learned so much from them and we try to keep in touch as much as we can despite the distance.

I think CS not only as a way to meet people and discover new countries differently, but also as a life experience allowing both hosts and travelers to grow and add more trust and respect in a world that could definitely use those.

Interests

I love sports - watching or playing (I played tennis in competition for 10 years, and now, I love going running). I enjoy watching movies and I am a series addict - often practicing binge-watching! I read and listen to music a lot. Like many people, I enjoy partying, hanging out with friends...and traveling of course ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing a parachute jump in Cairns (Australia). I had nor have ever experienced such intense sensations - from fear to pure excitment to freedom - and such a high level of adrenaline in 5-10 minutes
