I'm Margaux, a french happy occupational therapist ! Made in Brittany, I love my area, salty butter and I have a strong character... as the legend says ! I love meeting people, traveling, discover new places, and enjoy the simplest moments of life !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling to discover other lifestyles, cultures and wonderful people and learn from them. Couchsurfing is the best way to see the best of a place and is often the beginning of beautiful friendships ! I feel so grateful to have met so many wonderful people and friends through this amazing community !

Interests

I love travelling, visiting art museums, looking for street art murals in the cities, tasting tipical dishes of a country or region, or just walking around the city or hiking in the middle of nowhere. I'm interested by a lot of stuff and like to learn about a little bit everything ! Psychology, humans, feminism, ecology, zero waste movement, society, history...

I like being alone, reading a good book in a coffee shop or traveling by myself, but I also appreciate the company to share a good beer or a glass of wine, talk, dance chill or just doing nothing special !
