I am not able at the moment to share accomodation but don't hesitate to reach me to visit (Hell yeah, I'll be your guide!), share coffee, conversations and so on!

I lived in Perth (Australia) and travelled for almost a year around Australia during my Working Holiday Visa in 2013.
I had the best time and met so many beautiful people on my way!!
Richer of so many souvenirs and encounters now, I would love to keep on meeting nice and interesting people and I'm especially interested to meet english speaking people to keep on training in that language.

I got a degree of social worker,a job full of rich events, emotions and sharing! but did a bunch of other jobs since I obtained my degree ^^
I think (and hope) I'm an open-minded and dynamic person (Friends nick-named me "Duracell" and "Speedy Gonzales") :). Obviously, I'm also able to be quiet and thoughtful but I care about this little piece of madness.

Since the beginning of 2015, I do my best to be respectful with nature and animals and decided to go vegan. It's not perfect at all but trying hard is the very first step :)

I'm now just back from almost a year traveling, working and living in New Zealand, and a big 1000km hike on my own. Currently planning my next adventure :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely LOVE traveling and expect to keep on meeting amazing people from all over the World and discovering new stuff and cultures while doing so, or being your own special guide in the place where I live ;)

Interests

I love philosophy, english language, music, cinema...
I kinda began to learn how to play guitar. I lack discipline but I'd really like to get at least the basics.
I started in 2016 having italian lessons as well (and let me tell you I am bad! ^^).
I play poker (hold'em and preferably Omaha) fairly often (mostly online and when i have the occasion live with friends).
I love reading and writing and I'm particulary fond of literature from Nordic and Scandinavian countries.
I like to live in cities, so I especially appreciate Nature when I can enjoy it!
And obviously, I love travels and discovering others cultures!

I'll be happy to learn anything, and share point of views, ideas, and so on. It's the point, isn't it? :p
I will be glad to learn anything about vegan cooking and tips.
I would like to keep on improving my english and other languages, and will be happy to exchange in french or english.
Any help improving my italian would be amazing!
