ABOUT ME
My studies :
I studied in tourism but I was keener to travel instead. So before doing my thesis, life decided to show me that traveling was my main aim thanks to my first internship in Quebec. I was totally inspired ! I discovered how bad the mass tourism was and I found what I wanted to develop ; the responsible and sustainable tourism. So my thesis was "The tourism participatory and creative in Barcelona". I explained the carpooling, the greeters and the couchsurfing. And each part helps the environmental impact and the cultural impact of our actions.
About me :
I'm little bit shy and quiet but when I travel, it's most of the time by myself so it's like a challenge. It helps me to developp and understand how I work myself. I like feeling the freedom when I'm abroad. Everything is new and this is the thing which motivates me the most.
I don't smoke because i have had a pneumonia in 2008 so I decided to gave up smoking. I don't drink alcohol anymore because I have had a chronic pancreatitis in 2010 so apparently I have a poorer health than my friends because they keep smoking and drinking alcohol.. And I start to be vegan in december 2013.
Humanitarian Raid in Morocco with "205 Trophée" in 2015. Road trip in Galicia in 2016 and discovered ayurveda. 2017 : did 10 days vipassana.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Je fais partie de la communauté CS car je suis persuadée que c'est une contribution à un meilleur monde. C'est une ouverture d'esprit qui permet de redéfinir l'accueil entre le voyageur et l'habitant.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Première expérience à New-York. 2 nuits à Long Island. Ce fut une révélation, court séjour mais elle fut très signifiante pour moi ! Aller dormir chez un inconnu à plus de 6000 km de chez soi, ça faisait peur à mon entourage mais grâce à des personnes honnêtes, ça rend le voyage magique !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Voyager seule au Canada et le long de la côte Est américaine jusqu'à Miami beach. Une expérience qui a changé ma vie ! Voyager, c'est plus qu'une passion, c'est aller à la rencontre de l'inconnu, croiser des habitants/voyageurs qui chacun d'eux nous apportera une pièce à notre puzzle, c'est vivre autrement, voir, ressentir, découvrir..
Travel alone in Canada and go down the East coast of USA until Miami beach. It was such an amazing experience.. I think it has changed my life and my vision !
