About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet, share, explore!

ABOUT ME

I'm an independent, upfront and friendly French girl. In the past I studied in Suzhou (China) for 5 months in 2012, in Guadalajara (Mexico) for 6 months in 2013, I lived in Barcelona for 6 months in 2014 and in Melbourne (Australia) for 8 months in 2014-2015. After some cruising around I'm back to Barcelona. I work as a freelance web developer and I'm a teacher assistant in coding.
But I'm still going places when I get ca$$h and time. Catalunya is such a gem.
I'm in CS to meet nice and inspiring people and hear about their experiences through life.

I enjoy spending time in nature and get adventurous, bushwalking, rainy afternoons in art galleries, spending hours in record stores, I don't like making up problems, but finding solutions, I love listening to peoples stories and their way of thinking, but I am talking to myself as well I am standing with both feet high above the clouds.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is possible, but nothing is certain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing it is the perfect way to meet interesting people with similar visions of life.

Currently I am earth floating and like to see as much parts as I can and I love the opportunity couchsurfing gives. But as soon as I am going to stay somewhere for longer, I will be offering a place for you too.

Interests

I like trying new things and look for new challenges, but like to stay in balance with doing yoga. I like cooking and eating vegetarian meals. I love learning new recipes and tips :)
