About Me

Hey ! I'm 22, after a year in the USA I'm back in France. I'm now teaching english and it's a lot of fun !!
I love Christmas, halloween, way too many tv shows, dogs, discovering new food, endless laugh and just having the most fun ever while enjoying the little things in life.
Back to France I studied English, literature civilisation and philosophy but I also spent a lot of time dreaming about my next travels. Then it happened, I did a gap year in my studies to see the world and kind of see where life would lead me. It has been an exciting adventure, meeting so many interesting people and discovering amazing places. The only problem ? It keeps on triggering me to do more and now I'm just restless between my trips ahah

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be fully honest I first signed up to Couchsurfing with a bit of fear and fully aware of the fact that my mom would probably disapprove ahah. I then realised that it was a great way to travel on a budget because airbnb and hostels can be quite expensive after a while. But what I discovered after fully sold me to the concept : It actually gives you the opportunity to meet locals, to get the best address in town and to just meet new people all around the world. For someone like me who can be a bit shy it's an open door to the world and I love it !

Interests

I love fashion but I'm no Barbie doll, I would definitely show up in my little dress but it won't stop me from a full day of adventures, I just know my clothes and how to feel comfy in them. I'm known to have shitty taste in music but the bright side is that I also enjoy a lot of the music that people make me listen to so I don't mind not being in charge of the playlist.
Of course I love travelling, I feel like it's when I feel the most alive and the happiest. I love just seeing the world and always finding something new about myself on the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I basically like to listen to everything which is entertaining and I'm always down for road trips singing from the top of our lungs and discovering new artists.
One of my favorite movie is collateral beauty, I know probably not the happiest movie but omg I've watched it at least ten times and it still gets me everytime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to the USA... It's one of the those things about which I've always been dreaming to do without being fully honest to myself. I studied a lot for three years, poured my heart and soul into work and then realised that I really needed time for myself, that all of the books would feed my brain but not my soul.
So I packed my stuff and left, no one believed that their little girl would have the guts to do it and it's just when I landed in NY that my best friend texted me "shit you're really gone". And I'm loving it !!
An other thing I really love doing is writing so I hope that one day I'll be able to write here : published a book or started my blog.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French and french recipes, I'm terrible at board games but I really enjoy playing them, just never ask me to parallel park I can't teach that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Culture, food, deep conversations about life and our visions and just discover a new way of life.
