About Me

I'll be in Mexico for a year 🌞

I like to travel slowly so that I have time to soak up the atmosphere and feel cultural dynamics. For me the CS community is a unique way to get this while sharing some good vibes, that's why I'm here 🌈

I grew up in Paris but I don't like Paris anymore. In recent years I've developed a special relationship with the ocean, I just want to spend more time close to water. I love to surf, I love diving, I actually used to work in a marine conservation center in the Philippines 🐋

I always worked in social or environmental organizations. I think it's important to be an activist, to get involved in causes that are close to your heart, that's why I love talking about politics (in all goodness of course 😋).

At the end I still think that the good things in life should be kept simple. Friends, good food, and a cosy place to live. That's why my dream is to open a surf hostel and restaurant 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to sleep on couches 🙈

Interests

Coffee and yoga in the morning, craft beers and friends in the evening 🍺☕
I'm always up to sport in nature : surf, hiking, climbing... 🌲
I play guitar in an indie band 🎸
I have looots of cooking tricks, for me cooking is the strongest bond in a community, this is so important 😁
The best possible evening at home is to watch a documentary on marine life with pizzas 😍
