Cultivate freedom

ABOUT ME

I just finished my studies and I like to think I am free of all bonds for a little while.

I love traveling and generally otherness.

I enjoy novelty and I try to get out of my comfort zone as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Stolen from Socrates : "Know thyself"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted once in New York by a very welcoming and fun couple, and I am looking forward to doing it again, as a guest or as a host. Best way to travel, really.

Outside CS, I have hosted foreign friends and have been hosted several times abroad. Always very enriching experiences. I love it how people from different cultures point out as weird what you consider perfectly normal in your everyday life.

Interests

I like learning new languages, I like sewing and mending all kinds of stuff. I enjoy driving my car enormously, and I do realize how environmentally incorrect that statement is. Oh but I enjoy riding my bicycle in Paris as well! I love reading, especially novels. I like hanging out with people that make me happy, simply.
