CURRENT MISSION

Ride my bike throughout Europe from Paris to Istanbul, Vilnius, Linz, or Berlin! I start this Europe tour on January, 18th and this will drive me until mid-august 2015! My goal is to discover Europe, its inheritance and landscapes and to meet people from everywhere! I hope to be hosted as much as possible because I think this si the best way to learn about inhabitants and their culture.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a student in Financial Analysis in Lille but i come from Paris. My friends would tell that i'm enthusiastic, reckless, epicurean and friendly. I love to travel in lovely Europe, since my Erasmus I can't stop traveling, meeting new people and discovering landscapes and cities around the world. I feel really confortable in the forest, the wild, the nature, around a lake or on a sailboat, I apreciate the sound of silence while being in the nature, lonely, just enjoying it or taking landscape pictures which I love to do. I'm a fan of food, I always want to taste new meals, new flavours, and I love red wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life, humm, kind of hard question to answer... I think I just want to enjoy life as much as possible, and by enjoying life I mean fulfil my dreams, like traveling, but I also mean be happy. I believe life is too short to waste time doing boring things, and I think it has to be enjoyed as much as possible, Life is wonderful is you never give up with being curious and strong. I live my life to discover new things, I love to! I love to get surprised, to realize things which needed an hard work, and to make my family and friends happy. That's maybe a bit simple, and it seems may be ridiculous but i think simple things are the best to enjoy, and I have learned to enjoy those simple things. Life isn't always like you want, or easy and that's why those true pleasures are the one I appreciate the most.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, hanging out, showing people Lille or Paris, going out with strangers and just enjoying life! I love showing around the cities i know to foreigners and having a deep talk in a café or a Restaurant. I believe meeting locals in cities you visit is the best way to enjoy and to discover this city and the culture of this country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had 2 Couchsurfing experiences in my life, the first one in Gothenburg, Sweden. I spent one night with a friend of mine in our host's flat. It was really nice because in the evening he came with us in the city center to hang out. We went in different bars and met a lot of locals which I liked so much.
The other experience was in Edinburgh, Scotland. I spent my first night in Scotland at my host's flat. He was very helpful and came to pick me up at the bus station next to his flat. We didn't have so much time to talk because he had to leave early on the morning to go to work but he told how to find what I was looking for. So friendly!

Interests

I'm always in to discover new things, new cultures, new people and i'm interested in many different topics such as geography, politics, sciences, history, sports, economy, cinema,...
I love to travel especially in Scandinavian countries and to take landscape pictures, i also have different blogs to post my latest pics from my travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If i had to select few amazing things i've seen or done i would firstly tell my Erasmus in Finland, that revealed many aspects of personality which i didn't know before, and that made me realize that i want to live in a nordic country. I've also traveled a lot which i liked so much and which i want - or need - to do again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is wonderful, don't waste it. Listen to the others, share your culture and welcome foreigners as if they were your brothers and sisters.
