About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as many places as possible in the world! Meet as many couchsurfers as possible!!! Have fun! Be happy :)

ABOUT ME

I am a scientist from France who graduated from NC state in 2016. I now work for a pharmaceutical company in the RTP by RDU airport. I loooove the area! I live south of Raleigh, very close to downtown (~8 mins).

All I want to do is meet new people, laugh, go out, enjoy, have fun... If I can sum me up in few words: I'm talkative, interested by discovering new cultures and countries, positive, always up for party, I love cooking, I like laughing... I have also negative points: I hate false people, liars, people who never smile, elevators, spiders, cockroaches. That's it I think! Hooo I forgot: I'm really happy to be part of this big couchsurfing community :) See you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

My favorite quotations:
"Mieux vaut avoir des remords que des regrets" (better remorse than regret)
"Carpe diem"
I try to enjoy life as much as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to the events in the triangle as much as I can.
I was one of the organizers for our Triangle couchcrash in September 2018.

Interests

I love Chemistry (I'm an analytical chemist!). I like talking, laughing, travelling, meeting new people, listening to music (rock, RnB, some pop, techno and dubstep!). I love dancing and cooking. I like going to the cinema, seeing my friends. I like sharing my French culture with my American friends (movie, food, experience, life...). I enjoy being in the US and discovering the american way of life. American people are so friendly and nice. They smile all the time! To finish: I love bagels and cheesecake (especially from the Cheesecake Factory).
