About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep on discovering this beautiful part of the world that is South Asia, meet new people along the way, and bring back as many incredible memories as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and easy going person, always eager to meet new people and discover new ways of life. Over the past 10 years, traveling has been a passion and a necessity, and I am fortunate enough to have spent time in some remarkable countries for leisure and work - hats off to you Austria, Ghana and India!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short and the world too big, but let's do our best and explore the maximum!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate the way I can, by my presence when possible, my coach when available, my good humor and my attention always!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had several great experiences with Couch Surfing, including in West Africa. I was studying last year in Ghana for a semester and the holidays were obviously time for some more traveling. My first experience was in Ouagadougou (Burkina-Faso), where Elvis hosted my boyfriend and I for a couple of night, showed us around as long as we were here, and took good care of us. The second time was in Lome (Togo) and this time Laurent hosted us like real kings and queens, introducing us to his family, taking us around Lome, chating under the stars at night, making us discover some great traditional Togolese food, and many more.

Interests

My interests are various and easy to relate to.

I like music (like everyone), all types of music, from jazz to classical, electro, indie, world music,... I like cinema, and I would dare saying that my cinematographic knowledge is not too bad. I like traveling and I don't miss an occasion to go around, visit friends in different countries or just discover new places of the world with my best travel mates. I like FOOD, cooking and trying myself at cooking local dishes, which do not always turn out to be failures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking from Villach, in the south of Austria, through Slovenia, Italy, Corsica and France - 2,000 km and 5 weeks on the road, dozens of pizzas and hours cursing the road, radically different landscapes and great camping sites.
