About Me

CURRENT MISSION

never stop learning and sharing

ABOUT ME

I'm a french girl and I am travelling through Europe with my boyfriend Romain with our van. We like visiting new places, discovering new landscapes, tasting new food, and meeting people who live in these new places. We are very curious about the way of living of people, about culture. We are simple and easy going people.
PHILOSOPHY

"caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar" (Antonio Machado)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been surfing through Québec, that was a great experience to meet people, my first "real" one. I've received couchsuring friends at home, and also, when I didn't have the possibility to host, I've shared some time with surfers, visiting Montreal. I also participate to some couchsurfing events in Montreal (hiking days for example). I said first "real" experience because, I've also been lucky during my previous travels, not especially with couchsurfing network. When I was hiking in Spain or cycling through France, I've been received spontaneously by helpful people. So I want to give that back too !

Music, Movies, and Books

As I said before, I like all kinds of musics but I like especially traditional musics, from France, Québec, eastern Europe, etc. I practice clarinet, and tried french pipes. I also like old jazz. I enjoy to go and see live concerts.
I like movies in general, especially those related to real events. I like a lot documentaries too.
About reading, I like classical literature, I like hispanic literature, and I enjoy a lot comic books too !
I like beeing in the countryside, enjoying basic things of nature. I like walking, beeing slow when I discover a new place. Related to my job, I like to understand agriculture where I travel.
