About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover CouchSurfing, Meet the World and Enjoy my Lifetime !

ABOUT ME

I had a bilingual education thanks to my French father (half Belgian from my grand-mother as well!) and my Peruvian mother. So I spoke Spanish very early in my childhood and I always wanted to learn foreign langugages. So I started with English which was pretty inevitable being the best way to communicate all over the world. Then I studied Italian 'cause I have always been attracted to this language, the country, its culture and its amazing people. Speaking four languages at the same time can explain my travel addiction ! I am used to travelling a lot to America (North, Central and South!) and Europe but I am so excited to discover new continents and another countries!

I have an artistic profile since I was a child because I have done ballet classes, music (piano), drama... Now, I am a cultural reporter on CKRL 89.1 FM radio in Quebec city. I am used to interviewing a lot of artists (singers, bands, actors, dancers...), TV and radio celebrities in France and Canada... I also promoted student international mobility through a radio program called "Erasmus Live".

In 2011 and 2012, I hosted a radio show with the students I worked with at Pacific University, Oregon. Called "Live from USA", we talked about the American way of life on campus, American traditions and France seen by American students.

To conclude, it is definitely thanks to all these activities that I am dynamic, ambitious, smiling, friendly... And that is why, I love meeting people who have something to share... Hope you will be part of it !

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day, meet people and be open-minded !
Make your life your best experience! When you do something, think it is once in a lifetime...
Make love, not war!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In France: I lived in Ozoir la Ferrière which is 30 min away from Paris (by train or car).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I remember the first time I surfed a couch with my friend Agathe in San Francisco. We surfed Amy's couch and that was such a great to discover this huge city with someone who knows it very well and loves it... We shared many good moments there! I had most of my CS experiences in the US, France and Canada and I am looking forward to having new ones somewhere else!
