I'm a French Ph.D. student in Oceanography and I mostly work on climate change and human disturbances. My specialties are sedimentology and wetlands (salt marshes and mangroves).
I have done several internships focusing on sediment dynamics in wetland ecosystems in France, the US, and Mexico.

Not many doubts about it: my main interests are the ocean and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a good way to meet people and share experiences.
I have a lot of good memories with couchsurfers, in particular the Couchsurfing group of Mazatlán, Mexico. Lots of couchsurfers pass by Mazatlan on their way to cross Latin America or to visit Mexico. Our group was organizing weekly meetings, trips, and finding hosts from them.

I hosted lots of couchsurfers on another account shared with my roomie in Mazatlán. This account looks empty and new, but i've been using Couchsurfing since 2012 :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer silence rather than music, I prefer books rather than movies.
I like all types of music (classic to metal) and books (biographies to SF).
My favorite groups are Alter bridge and Porcupine tree.
I grew up with Millenium trilogy and Scandinavian thrillers. For now, I like reading novels and autobiographies with female heroes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last in date: Climbing the volcano Acatenango, in Guatemala and getting lost in the middle of the way. Finally reaching the top after various hours and having the best meal of my life (bread, tuna, and avocado
accompanied by a bottle of Quetzalteca; yes man it tastes delicious at 3 976 m!).

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share meals and recipes. Cooking and eating are serious topics in France.

Talking about the world and science.
Listening to trip stories, making travel plans.
Finding commonalities. Speaking and learning languages.
Drinking different types of beers and dreaming about opening a brewery.

What I Can Share with Hosts

French culture and gastronomy.
Travel and life memories.
Ocean and world mysteries.
