ABOUT ME

Welcome to my profile!! I am a french girl, l have just move to Guadalajara for work where I hope to settle for a while!

I will quote something that has been said about me by different people throughout my (short) life to describe who I am "Justine is so friendly, she could befriend a lamp post"

Looking to open my mind always more by meeting people from all over the world, traveling more every year and opening my home to new cultures.

I read a lot of books, love netflix, I am passionate about my job, and travel is life. On a new journey with a 5 years diary, look it up, something fun to do and have in the future.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage, against the dying of the light" bonus if you know where this comes from :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf with couchsurfing, I have been doing so since 2012 and loving every step of it. As a young girl getting into traveling at 19, couchsurfing was my best discovery.

I mainly surfed at the beginning and got to meet incredible people, I then included myself in my cities communities and finally starting hosting in 2018.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What more to say? My experiences are various but I will tell you about one in particular: I met Carlos in Paris, when he sent me a request for a one night stay, arriving at 7pm on friday and leaving early morning on saturday. I accepted his request but explained to him I have a birthday party that night so we will be going out. On the day of his arrival, he texted me saying is train was delayed several hours and that since he will arrive late he will just sleep at the station. Obviously I told him it was non-sense, told him where to find me when he gets there and to come with his luggage. That night we dance our hearts out, went to have a long talk on the grass looking at the eiffel tower, and in the morning I brought him to the station to have a french breakfast before taking the train. Still one of my best experience to this day! And it's not even the end: One year later, I receive a text from Carlos saying "I have a 10 hours layover in Paris today, are you here? can we meet?", I was in the middle of moving out of my appartment, and spending my last night in Paris at a friend's place. Told him so, and he joined us to help with the moving and go for sushi afterwards for dinner. Again amazing time. I have never seen him for more than 10 hours, but I consider him a friend, and I am looking forward to our next crazy meeting.
