Overview
About Me
My last name means neighbor in French. In fact, French is my first language but I'm perfectly fluent in English as well. I can also get along pretty well in languages such as Spanish and German, but I understand them better than i speak them. I love learning new languages in general, because it allows me to communicate with a lot more people. Like Nelson Mandela said: ''If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.''
People often describe me as a person who is very passionate about everything she does and full of life. I am a very simple person. I enjoy meeting new people and exchanging with them as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am planning on taking a gap year to travel the world not this year, but next year. I want to do this, because I love discovering the world and meeting people from all over. I currently live in apartment, so it is perfect to receive people and I feel like joining Couchsurfing will not only be useful to me when I will travel, but will also help me meet different people from different backgrounds. I also want to travel to be able to learn and practice a bunch of new languages.
Interests
I'm a HUGE soccer (football, if you're from Europe) fan! If I could, I would play soccer all day, everyday.
Huge music fan as well, I play cello, guitar and a little bit of saxophone. I also love going to concerts and listen to all genres of music.
I love learning new things and developed this passion for language-learning not that long ago. My goal in life is to be happy and fluent in 10+ languages.
I also LOVE meeting new people .
