About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread love :)

ABOUT ME

Hi
I studied biology, environment and scientific journalism. I travel since august 2017 to learn languages, meet many interesting people and learn more about myself. Until now, it has been a very interesting journey. I spent three months in Taïwan and felt home there, so I'll be back very soon! I love to sing, play the piano, sew little present, make cards, cook vegetarian meals, share experiences, laugh, learn about "alternative" medicine, eco construction, permaculture, and many other things!

PHILOSOPHY

Never regret, you can built your future but nor change your past.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I love to meet different people, especially when we have different cultures because I found it interesting to have a different point of view on life. I also love to speak and learn foreign languages and they are many languages lovers on couchsurfing ;)

Interests

I love singing, reading newpapers, enjoying my life in Lyon and listening to some bad pop commercial music! I'm also crazy about languages and whenever I ear a new language, I want to learn it and become fluent! That's why I started to learn tons of languages (arabic, finish, deutsch, russian...)! I lived 5 years in a shared flat with taïwanese girls and I always found it so interesting to speak about whatever and see how they have a different way to see life. In order to discover new culture and people, I did international volunteer during three years. I didn't feel like so helpfull but it was such a wonderful experience to live with people from all around the world and share life : cooking together, working, discovering a country, hearing new languages...
