About Me

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST : (I will probably look like a very boring and not fun person with the text below but I would like to avoid any misunderstandings)

- If you are just looking for a free accommodation/wifi password/washing machine, DO NOT contact me! I am on CS to meet people and share a drink, a dinner, travel stories...
-I am 34 now. I work from monday to friday so i am not a crazy party goer/clubber/during weekdays (but surely on Friday and Saturday ;-)
I am at work from 7.30 am until 8 pm, so if you have to arrive beteween these hours on the first day, you will have to wait for me (but after i will give you an extra key so you can come back at the appartement when you want)
- If i have several requests at the same time, i will mostly choose you if you are from a spanish speaking country as i want to improve my spanish.
- Even though good surprise might sometimes happen ;-), i DO NOT use CS as a TINDER dating app!!!!
- I am not a tour guide: I work all the week, so i can't go visiting paris with you every weekend. But i will of course help you organise whatever you need and give you advices.

But of course, life is not just black or white. Some exceptions can always be made !
=============
Hello and welcome!!!

I don't really know what to write here, I am just an average girl ;-)

I am part of the French Burning Man community.

I am an IT consultant currently working in Paris. I have loved travelling since i can remember.
I have been doing many exchange programs in the USA, lived a year in Australia for college and internship, lived in Brussels.
On 2016/2017, i took a sabbatical leave in my job for a year to travel around the world by myself .
I enjoy, modern dance, disovering new culture, balkan music, music festivals and of course partying...

I looking forward meeting you very soon!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I did a world tour solo trip in 2016/2017. But travelling alone does not mean being alone. I am eager to meet new people willing to make me discover their culture.
Now that i am back in France, i think it is time fore me to give back all the fun I had by helping other travellers.
I have had very good experiences, very good vibes, have met very nice people from all over, lived (intensamente, with lot of energy) and now i can count a lot of friends that ive made.. great experience!!
And of course: CS helps to save a bit of money ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Balkan music (goran bregovitch, shantel, Arbat, Balkanbeatbox....) Pop Punk music from late 90's and early 2000's (offspring, sum 41, Blink 182...) , world music (tribal cumbia Indian electro) Dub and reggae music. I am not a very book person unfortunately. But it can change if you advise me some good books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day should be amazing!!! When I drink I usually do amazing (or stupid ) things 😂
But swiming next to shark in Australia and going on a solo around the world trip are things I feel a little proud about ;-)

I also lived one month in the Amazona without running water and electricity... interesting experience to learn about yourself.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do not expect me to cook you some typical good french food or teach you things about french wine. Unfortunately I am the worst cook ever, and i have never managed to remember anything about wine (even though I like it a lot!). 🍷🍷 but for some reason I know things about Belgian beers 🍻.

Something weird about me: I am like child, I hate eating vegetables :-(

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun, laught, beers, parisian sens of humour, unlimited talks and discoveries about music...
