CURRENT MISSION

Currently trying to get the best results possible in my exams ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a 22 year old Franco-British grad student studying Urban Planning at UCLA. I am very interested by the way in which the town grows and interacts with its inhabitants, my goal is to create climate resilient and green cities. My favorite hobby is discovering new towns !

As most people on Couchsurfing I love traveling and sharing my experiences with others. I am quite timid, but once I get to know you better, I'm a real chatterbox ! I love anything historical, and love speaking to people who share my passion for discovering old cathedrals, castles, archaeological sites, and museums :)

FAVOURITE TOWNS I'VE VISITED:
Paris, Rennes, Toulouse, Barcelona, London, Brussels, Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, Sofia, Plovdiv, San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Austin, Omaha, Chicago, New York

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As many of you on this site, I am on Couchsurfing to meet new and exciting people and cultures !

I have been couchsurfing for 3 years now and have met some truly amazing people! In summer 2016 I travelled across the United States via the California Zephyr transcontinental train, couchsurfing on the way in Omaha, Denver, Grand Junction, Salt Lake City, and Sacramento - learning so much about the railway system in the US and the history behind the tracks, so if you're interested in trains I'm your gal!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sharing my culture with high school students at summer camps in Bulgaria as part of an AIESEC project : an amazing experience !

Teach, Learn, Share

As I speak fluent English and French, I would be delighted to teach you ! I would also love to share both my French and British culture with you, and I am currently learning how to cook both typical Breton and English food :)

I'm also a TV series addict and a bookworm, and there's nothing I love more than speaking about books and series around a cup of tea!
