I'm a young landscape architect who likes travelling but who has difficulties with reading maps. After a few months of office work I felt the need for an adventure and to meet new people, before settling (if ever I do one day). Norway seemed the ideal destination to take a step back on my small existance during a few months. An ideal context to experiment new sensations (the cold, the distance, the rhythm of a day, a new language...)

I like observing my environment : plants, rocks, buildings, people (and listening to them). I draw a lot to remember moments. I enjoy wandering around, and I often end by getting my self lost. I find easily beauty in most of ordinary things. I need to laugh a lot and to eat tasty food.

" Bounce back" or Resilience would be my motto in life.

I've always lived in France but I am half english and quarter italian. Before I can afford travelling to another continent I beleive there is so much see in Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel much more confortable in an inhabited place than in a spotless and empty hotel room. I believe the best way to discover somewhere is through the ones who live the place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how you live, about the places you love, and the places you hate.
I can tell you about places I've lived and you may want to see.
I can share good and bad experiences of my lifetime so far.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My happy mood and my curiousity.
I can show you my sketch book, and prove you that drawing is fun and accessible to anyone if you are tempted.
Cooking is my best refuge, exchanging some recipes would be great.
