My name is Ophélie and I am 34 years old already. I live in Saint André Lez Lille (8 minutes bus from Lille City center).
Sébastien who has been my friend for 12 years now is 34. He is a computer engineer (a bit geek but very nice anyway ;)).
After 5 years studies and a MBA in Foreign Languages Applied to Marketing, I head up to my first vocation which is marketing in an international context. I am hired in a french factory specialized in the manufacturing and commercialization of medical devices. I am employed as an international product manager for the "emergency" range of products. At this time and after being employed for 3 years and a half, my dream comes true: traveling the world for 1 year with Séb.
I am passionate about travels and adventures (in my lectures and during vacation), this world tour is for me the concretization of a child's dream with a lot of expectations. Only the possibility of realizing a dream, makes life interesting. This sentence sounds though but it is one of my "leitmotiv" in life and "the Alchemist" from Paulo Coelho, one of my favourite lectures.
In my spare time, I am also passionate about photography and may walk for hours till I found the right place for some pictures. Dancing (charleston and lindy hop) as well as badminton are for us weekly activities.
As for Sébastien, he is a wonderful cook, and I simply eat. 😂

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To meet local and authentic people, to discover different cultures, to share good moments with people, to potentially make some new friends, to travel in a different way and host travelers when we come back from our adventure, to go out of our comfort zone.
For all of that and for so much more...
