About Me

Hello, I'm a 21 years old French student living in Toulouse (South-West of France) where I study aerospace engineering. I have travelled a lot and plan to travel again ome more. I am heading to Australia soon to spend 5 months travelling there !
I love to spend time in enjoying nature or the surroundings, I practice a lot of sports (volleyball, rugby, ski, trekking, sailing) but also enjoy some quite time reading. I also love spending time with friends, around a beer or anything else.

Salut, je suis une étudiante française de 21 ans vivant à Toulouse où j'étudie l'ingénierie spatiale. J'ai déjà pas mal voyagé et je prépare actuellement mon prochain voyage de 5 mois en Australie !
Je fais pas mal de sport (volley, rugby, ski, rando, voile) mais j'aime bien passer aussi des temps plus calmes avec un bon bouquin. J'adore me balader et visiter ce qui m'entoure (ville ou nature). Bien sur j'aime aussi passer du temps avec des amis autour d'une bière ou autre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's the best way to meet new people when you stay home or meet the locals when you travel. When I travel I look for geniune experiences and what's best than spending time with a local who can also introduce you to the gems of one's region. I have done it a few times outside the platform in France when i was a teenager with friends and a tent, and the encounters that I did when people open their garden or their home are some of my best memories from my trips.
- Note that right now I am travelling in Australia, so not available for hosting and looking for hosts, but I'll be glad to switch places when I come back -

Pour moi c'est le meilleur moyen de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes quand on ne voyage pas ou de rencontrer des locaux quand on voyage. Quand je voyage je suis à a recherche d'expérience authentiques et quoi de mieux que de rencontrer des locaux qui peuvent aussi nous renseigner sur les trésors de leurs régions. J'ai fait aussi un peu de couchsurfing quand j'étais ado en France et que je voyageais avec 2 copines et notre tente. Les rencontres que nous avons fait quand les gens acceptaient de nous ouvrir leur jardin ou leur porte font parties de mes meilleurs souvenirs de ces voyages.
- Pour l'instant je voyage en Australie donc je ne peux pas héberger mais je cherche plutôt des hébergement, je serai ravie d'inverser les rôles à mon retour en France -

Music, Movies, and Books

Books : nearly everything, I read really a lot.
Music : Lots of kind of musics, not really into heavy metal or rap but openminded. I'm more a jazz, classic, pop, alternative and rock person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to visit some friends in Svalbard, an norwegian archipelago in 78°N (on which you find the northenest city of the world !). This place is really magical and incredible even though dangerous and super cold. My friends hadn't seen the sun for the past months because of the polar night so on a clear day, we took our skis and hiked up the mountain to catch a glance at the Sun for 5 minutes. It was -30°C, the colors and the view were breathtaking and the smiles on my friends' faces were worth it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking so I'm always happy to teach ne receipies and learn new ones, more than anything if they are from a culture that is different from mine.
I also like to hear the experiences and life of the people I met.
I'm always interested to share the places one's like when hosting or being hosted.
