About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit half the countries of the world before turning 40

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone,

I first started couchsurfing on a one-year round-the-world trip. I had such an amazing experience that I absolutely wanted to host whenever I could and give back to the CS community.
I'm an easygoing, curious and smiley girl. As a good (half) french, I like to chat over a good meal and drinks. In general, I have a lust for life and travelling is to me one of its most meaningful sides.

PHILOSOPHY

"In three words I can sum up everything I learned about life: it goes on.."
And for the best!
