About Me

Hi there, I am a curious student/explorer trying to see as much of the world as possible. I am currently living in France and soaking up every bit of culture, history, and adventure Europe has to offer. I’m interested in meaningful conversations, discovering how people live in different corners of the world and and enjoying the little things from the locals' POV.

When I travel, I love to go beyond the tourist spots and experience a city like a local. I'm not just looking for a place to sleep, I'm hoping to exchange stories, learn something new, and maybe even cook a dish or two together (I’m always down to share recipes from home!).

I genuinely enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds. If you’re up for hosting, I’d be grateful for the opportunity, and I promise to bring good vibes and a big thank-you 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning to explore Nice, Monaco, Milan and Luxembourg in September, 2025, I hoping to connect with as much as possible people as the journey goes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Because hotels don’t tell stories, but people do! I’m here to meet awesome humans, swap experiences, maybe learn how to cook a local dish (or teach you mine), and see cities through the eyes of someone who actually lives there.

I think travel should be about connection, not just checklists. Couchsurfing makes it possible to turn a regular trip into an unforgettable one full of laughs, surprises, and good vibes. If we can share a meal, a walk around the city, or just some good conversation, that’s more than enough for me.

Let’s make travel feel less like tourism and more like friendship!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you some everyday phrases in my language, and how to survive a week with only one backpack. I’m also good at sharing little hacks I’ve picked up while living abroad, from budgeting to navigating a new city like a local. I can teach you how to laugh at yourself when you butcher a foreign phrase (I'm a pro). I’ve also mastered the art of packing at the very last minute a skill no one asks for, but everyone respects. Need help pretending you’re organized? I got you.

Learn:
Everything! I’m especially curious about local traditions, hidden spots in your city, what people eat for breakfast where you live, and how you see the world. Teach me a dance move, a saying, or even just your favorite snack, I’m all in.

Share:
Stories, playlists, good energy, deep conversations, and the joy of spontaneous moments. I can share laughter, help with chores, cook with you (or for you), or just sit and enjoy the silence with a cup of something warm.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A new perspective and maybe a new favourite tea.
I carry stories instead of souvenirs, questions instead of maps.
I can offer you a homemade meal (even if it’s a little experimental), good company on a walk, or just silence that doesn’t feel awkward.

Sometimes I share playlists, sometimes podcasts.
Sometimes I help with dishes or fold laundry while we chat about life.
I believe kindness is a language we all speak. I try to bring it wherever I go.

I’ll leave your couch exactly how I found it, but I hope to leave your day a little better than I found it, too.
