CURRENT MISSION

enjoy the little things

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am a young scientist trying to keep my balance between my passion for research and for traveling, getting to know places, people, ways of life...

I am thrilled by learning new things, I like to enjoy the small things in life and I love how through CS I have already gained so many great experiences and memories, looking forward to many more!
I love languages, music and arts, but also outdoor sports and martial arts, dancing, and probably dancing again :-).

PHILOSOPHY

you can learn anything if you are willing to go with your head through a wall every now and then ;-)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got the link to CS from a friend one week before completing my master thesis. We left for our journey the day after I handed in :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it!!!
I couch surfed mainly in Italy, but also in Norway, Germany, Poland, India... CS is the ultimate way to get to know other cultures and meet the most awesome people. I am totally spoiled for any other type of travel....

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

When I was in Italy I had set my mind on learning Italian. I could speak decent Spanish at the time so at first I thought that it would be comparably easy. But then I sat on Italian CS hosts couches for 10 days (I was traveling with my best friend who speaks fluent Italian) and did not understand one sentence. I thought "this is never going to work"... and then, suddenly, within a few days it made *click* and all the sudden I got it. It was so amazing PLUS I was really relieved that finally I too could talk to my hosts ^^
