Hello! I'm Soizic, I love to travel, cook and meet beautiful people. I'm French and I lived in Madrid the last two years to work as a baker, which is my passion. Now, I’m living in Lyon in France where I am learning the work of pastry chef. I can tell you jokes and make desserts :) See you soon with great pleasure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My conception of travel (and life) is towards others and authentic experiences. I like to meet people from different cultures and I learn a lot thanks to them. I’m very new in CS but already 100% convinced 😀

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went for a 4 days trekking in the north of Argentina, at 4000 of altitude with a high mountain guide who did not speak my language. We were overtaken by heavy thunderstorms and torrential rains and I really felt tiny and useless in front of nature.
I also did a three days trek in the jungle in Thailand and I ate a snake hunted by the father of our guide. During the same trip I also had to eat (because I had lost a bet) a hairy and disgusting spider.

Teach, Learn, Share

I had my mid-life crisis at a young age (22) and I left everything (country, friends, family and work in responsible finance) to become a baker in Madrid. I bake sourdough bread only, I love cooking and I'm passionate about bread and fermentation. Opening a bakery with high quality products, a good philosophy of sourcing raw materials and a great respect for workers makes me dream more than going back to work on excel sitting on a chair all day ahah
Now I’m working as a pastry chef in a great restaurant in Lyon (Paul Bocuse) to learn the básica of the french pastry. Intresting but I prefer bread 😅😀

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very curious and I want to learn all the time. I love to talk, I want to know everything about you, that you teach me what you know!
I love to cook and will be happy to share good recipes! I can make you dinner, teach you how to make sourdough bread or croissants :P
