About Me

Hi everyone,

I am a French Brazilian design student from La Rochelle, who likes to read, draw, make some tea and enjoy some good jazzy music. I'm very enthusiastic about learning new things and I enjoy sharing things with people. I am also very interested in social sciences, arts, yoga, languages, quantum physics and cosmology (among many other things !!).

I took a gap year after high school, so I went backpacking and volunteering in England, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, and the Cook Islands. It was a fantastic experience !

Also I love Ted Talks and 90% chocolate

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea that we can travel the world without always having to rent a hotel room, and instead meet with locals and learning more about their culture and way of life.
For me traveling is more than just sightseeing and fancy restaurants, it's about discovering something new and widening our minds.
Also I enjoy meeting international people, and making cool friends.
