About Me

Hey, sometimes I'm shy at the first moment, but don't give up, I'm actually a really talkative and outgoing person! I'm so passionated by art and culture in general, it moves me. I love photography, poetry, music, dance and cinema. I'm gradually changing my lifestyle to something that I believe to be a more equilibrated way to live in this world we are in, sooo I have a plant based alimentation, I'm also rethinking the way I consume and I'm against animal exploitation. I love my country and culture and love to talking to people about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is great, I love to live cities and places with the "first time eye" and open myself to all those sensations. And then, people, they make everything more special, I love sharing and touching and being touching.
Couchsurfing made me meet some really unique people so far and I'm glad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I traveled alone in Lisbon in 2017. This was my first experience alone. It was so great ! And now i love to travel alone.

- I did paragliding in a French island (La Reunion). It was the fear of my life to skydive and i did it!Yeeeessss ! :) Wonderful experience!

- I saw whales in La Reunion and dolphins in Croatia

- I saw the Mount Fuji, fall in love with Miyajima island and i felt lucky to see monks praying in Mount Koya.

- I got my Open Water Licence in Thailand. And I try to dive each time I travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

For sure something about my country, culture, language. With pleasure!

And there's always something to learn from the others! The place, local customs, the culture, habits, language, or just other opinions!
