CURRENT MISSION

To discover the beauty of simple things

ABOUT ME

I was born in France but grew up in Kenya, where my parents moved when I was very small. Hopefully I'll move back there some day so that people can surf on my couch in Nairobi!! After living in the UK (Coventry) and Spain (Madrid) for my studies, I am now discovering a new continent here in Washington DC... but as I must move houses over the summer, my couch is not yet available, sorry - check again later!

PHILOSOPHY

Los muros son puertas que se abren a mi paso (Pablo Picasso) - translated: walls are doors that open as I pass.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I am just interested in finding several places to stay over June and July in Brazil, as my boyfriend and I will be traveling there this summer for two months and have had no luck finding accommodation so far. But I plan to make my couch available to fellow travelers as soon as I move back to DC in September!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Apart from traveling, my main interests are intercultural exchanges, poetry, and international economic development :) I love meeting new people, improvising new adventures and going wherever my feet take me... and I am very excited to be joining the couch-surfing community!!
