About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go for a round the world trip & run a marathon before 2020!

ABOUT ME

Hi CSers!
I am a French girl who absolutely loves to travel (obviously...) anywhere & anytime! I enjoy meeting new people from all around the world and discovering new cultures!
I currently work as an engineer at Airbus Helicopters in Germany after having studied at LTU in Sweden, at MISIS in Moscow. But my home university was in Nancy where I studied materials engineering.

PHILOSOPHY

Money spent on travel will make you happier than money spent on anything else!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently trying to meet up with CSers in Bavaria & looking for couches for my next trips!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had several couch surfing experiences, and it was always awesome. Friendly people, amazing places, a lot of fun...! I am going to try to couch surf at each of my future trips. You learn so much more while couch surfing than simply staying in an hostel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mainly read crime friction and I am currently a huge fan of Guillaume Musso. I have read all of his books, and if you like crime fictions, I highly recommend you start reading these!
I also like Dan Brown, Agatha Christie and all the Harry Potter of course!

I also enjoy watching series such as How I met your mother, 90210, One Tree Hill, Desperate Housewives, New Girl, Homeland, Real Humans, Welcome to Sweden...

Concerning music, I don't really have a favorite genre, I listen to all kind of music depending on my daily mood. I have some favorite bands such as Coldplay, Foster the people, Phoenix, Cloud Control, M83, Paul Kalkbrenner, The xx, Oasis, U2, Jack Johnson, Gypsy & the cat, John Butler Trio, Alt-J, Taylor Swift (shameless haha), London Grammar, Angus & Julia Stone

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarding with the northern lights in Laponia
Camping in Finnmark in Norway
Staring at the midnight sun for hours at the North Cape
Living in a monastery

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe other cultures and people have a lot to teach us. It is only by travelling and discovering other cultures that people can be more open-minded and cultured.
