Hey there! I’m Mailys—a 35-year-old, half-French, half-British woman currently living in London. For the past decade, I’ve been working in sports events, which has taken me on some incredible adventures around the world. I love exploring new places, meeting people, and discovering those hidden local gems you won’t find in a guidebook.

I’m really into running and swimming—not the fastest, and I don’t go the farthest, but I make up for it with plenty of motivation and a good sense of humor about my efforts! Beyond sports, I’m always up for a good chat over coffee/tea/beer/the-drink-of-your-choice, especially if it involves stories about travel, cultures, or life’s little quirks.

And speaking of adventures, I recently bought a piece of land in Sicily with an old ruin on it. I’m still figuring out what to do with it, but it’s a project that keeps me dreaming and planning for the future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best travel memories are always about the people I meet. I could be in the most rundown place on the planet, but if I make amazing friends, it instantly becomes the best place in the world.
