I DON'T HOST MEN

Hi you! I'm Lauren, I'm French and I've grown up in a place surrounded by nature and beautiful beaches. (Dune du Pilat Google it!) As you can see from the pictures I've lived many amazing adventures during this trip and I am always happy to explore new places, eat the most delicious food and meet amazing people all over the world.

I always travel in a simple way with a tiny budget and a lot of improvisation but this is how I get the most fulfilling experiences. I strongly believe Couchsurfing is a wonderful way to create longlasting friendships and I'm always happy to give a hand (with the cooking in particular) to our hosts in exchange of a small space on their couch!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing when I travel I love to be hosted by locals, meet new people, discover the best plans and share moments together in my hosts' country.

This is an amazing way to learn about each other's cultures and talk with stranger about life, travel, music and everything else.

SPANISH

Estoy en Couchsurfing porque cuando viajo me gusta estar hospedadas por gente del lugar, encontrar a nuevas personas y compartir momentos juntos en su pais

Es una manera maravillosa de aprender sobre otras culturas y hablar con desconocidos sobre la vida, los viajes, la música y todo lo demás.

Interests

In addition to what I already said, I love to try new things in general, I love climbing, scuba diving, dancing (particularly salsa), cooking, listening to different life stories, talking for hours about anything with strangers, discovering new bands, playing with animals etc. I've been raised close to the ocean so the sea is a big part of my life, I love swimming, I know how to surf and I spend a lot of time outside.

SPANISH

Ademas de lo que ya he dicho, me encanta intentar nuevas cosas en general, escalar, bucear, bailar salsa, cocinar crêpes, hablar durante horas de cualquier cosa con desconocidos, descubrir nuevas canciones, irme de fiesta, jugar con animales, etc. Crecí en la costa, y por eso el mar es una gran parte de mi vida, sé hacer surf y me gusta pasar mucho tiempo a fuera.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too hard to choose, it's better to talk about it in real life but I read a lot, I like twisted stories, the ones that teach me new stuff and allow me to see life differently once I finish the book. I've seen a lot of movies and I listen to all kind of music. Nevertheless I have to confess that reggeaton is my guilty pleasure in a club.

SPANISH

Es muy dificil escoger, es mejor hablar de eso en cuanto nos encontremos. Por lo general leo mucho y veo muchas peliculas y series tambien y escucho todo tipo de musica. Sin embargo tengo que confesar que la reggeaton es mi placer culpable cuando estoy en un club.
