Overview
About Me
I am 20 years old, French, and en English enthusiast.
I am studying English linguistics and I will hopefully get my master's degree in June from KU Leuven, Belgium.
I studied abroad in Maryville College, TN, in 2015-2016.
I am a vegetarian because of my love for animals, especially bears.
I travelled a lot in Europe, and I volunteered in Senegal and in Paraguay.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am on Couchsurfing because visiting a country without understanding the culture and meeting local people is not travelling for me. I would rather share my experience, tell travelling stories, and have fun with hosts of the city I visit rather than going back to a hotel room on my own at the end of the day. I love meeting people of different cultures, and I love understanding their perception of the world to go back home with a deeper understanding of the world I live in.
Interests
I love reading, writing, playing violin and piano, watercolor painting, watching movies, listening to music, walking, travelling, spending time with my family, and studying.
