About Me

Some people would say that I'm a backpacker. I don't like belong to categories, but that's pretty close.

I left France 11th October 2016 to travel around Europe and experiment new ways of living. I stayed in Netherlands, in Sweden and I just arrived in Germany. I really want to understand your way of life. I want to meet places and people, to see beauty in everything, try to be a little bit more naive about our world. And I have a lot of work!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to discover cities with a local point of view. Usually, in a new city, I stay a few days in a hostel before to try to find a couchsurfer's place. Then, I can visit the city by my own, as a real tourist, and I can also discover it with a local, or with local's tips. That's not the same city. At all.

So if I ask you to stay in your place, it's not for cheap nights or comfort, it's to meet you and understand how do you live in your city.
And yes, I read profiles. I won't send a request if I don't feel comfortable with your profile, I prefer in this case to sleep in a hostel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really, I have to choose? I love read, almost everything except horror and thriller. For now, I read Game of Thrones (first time I watch the TV before I read the book!). I love Harry Potter too, sorry, I'm still a tenager sometimes :)
Books in disorder : The Alchemist, A brief history of time, Alors voilà...
I listen a lot of music. Pop rock and french songs for most

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well... I left my lovely Britain to travel with my backpack, it's quite something for me. During this time I stayed three months in Lappland to work with sled dogs.
Then I saw Northern Lights... One of the most amazing and beautiful thing ever saw.
