I am sociable and very interested in meeting people and discovering new cultures and countries !
I'm passionate about performing arts and currently studying at the Mime School at the Academy of Theater and Dance of Amsterdam.
I very occasionnaly whip out my violin to play a kind of world-music-traditionnal repertoire.
I am also a bit of a language nerd, always in for learning new linguistic bits and pieces !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a privilege to get to meet and be hosted by locals whilst travelling. To my mind, meeting local people and sharing time with them is definitely the best way to discover a new place.

I haven't used Couch Surfing for a long time now and it's a spontaneous decision to leave Amsterdam and to go to Porto for five days that reminded me how great an opportunity to meet new people this network is !
Also, I don't know if this if worth mentioning but I am not yet a verified member, my budget being very low at the moment so for now I am saving a bit to offer my next kind host a good dinner !

Interests

I am very interested in languages and am getting more and more into (vegetarian and vegan) cooking.
All in all, I am up for any good conversation (around a glass of red wine is a huge bonus).

I was born and bread in a small French village so am quite attached to being outdoors and having a good walk.
