About Me

I'm from Paris but I'm actually in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa to discover a new culture and the local life, to meet new people, to experience new jobs. I was born in Vietnam, but I grew in a French family. Maybe it's the reason why I can't stay long in a same place and I'm fond of travelling and going to meet new cultures and people. I really like making new friends from all over the world and sharing ideas and cultures.

A little more about myself:
• I love cooking, growing plants, having friends at home for dinner or aperitif, drinking tea, giving a second life to old objects (my last attempt was tawashi)
• I studied biology then humanities (Latin, Greek and literature) then business management. I’m still struggling to find my passion and way of living, that’s why I want to experience new things
• I attended languages classes in Spanish, German, Chinese, Burmese and Vietnamese but I can't barely speak any of them. English was my best effort but I sometimes still have big troubles to understand and express myself well.

How I see myself:
Easy going, emotive, itchy feet

How my friends see me:
More Asian than French style, communicative, empathic, extravert, curious, joyful, creative

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet and help some CS members if they are travelling in Paris to show them how beautiful is this city and to give them advice on the best my home town has to offer. I'm more than willing to share experiences and wisdom with the persons I meet.

During a trip, I really appreciate to meet local people, the ones I can have good conversations while drinking a big cup of tea or coffee with, ones who can give me key hints to understand the local culture and enjoy the local way of life.
