About Me

Although I was born in France I lived the past 10 years abroad. I came back to my "home" country and decided to settle down in Nantes... which I'm actually discovering as well since august 2018. But I'll be happy to guide you as much as I can and share stories of adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider myself more of a traveller than a tourist... I would also say that I prefer to live in a country than only visit it. But as the world is huge and I will not be able to live in every country for a few years I thing that couchsurfing offers the opportunity to meet people who can give an other vision of the part of the world where they decided to live.

Interests

I've always loved making stuff, I feel confident with tools in my hands and that's actually when I looked for a place in Buenos Aires where I could express my creativity that I decided to start my own business and opened a makerspace. Beside that, I like fisical activity, I started to practice Kung Fu last year and loved it. I also practice meditation and yoga.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to any kind of music, there's alway music in my workshop... better if it makes you dance!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I witnessed Northern lights while travelling in Churchill, Canada... it's been amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I have a good ability to make stuff and I actually enjoy doing it that's probably why I ended up teaching DIY and would be more than happy to help and teach you how to make stuff.
I love languages, living abroad allowed me to learn a few and I'm always willing to learn new words, learn new languages and exchange with foreigners.
I can also teach some meditation tecnics, cooking specialities... vegeterian ones
I'd love to learn how to surf, sail, acro yoga, play guitar, speak portugese and so many more things

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been living in other countries quite a long time and travelling as well, I would be happy to share that experience and I'm eager to learn about other culture and travel experiences.
I also think that couchsurfing gives the oportunity to meet local people wich is the best way to learn about a new country.
