Currently working with an NGO in Lombok Indonesia ! I'm Sonia, a little french girl travelling with a big backpack.
After my studies, my father got sick and I realized that life can be short. So I booked I flight and decided to realize my dreams.

So far i've been in :
Australia where I worked to save money
Enjoyed the asian life of Vietnam, Thailand, Laos
Got my open water in Malaysia
Surfed crazy waves in Indonesia
Volunteered in Népal building a school in the mountain after the earthquake
Crossed India by motorbike
Hitchhike Iran-Iraq-Turkey for 2 months and staying with locals only. Ah yes : Alone !

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the most rewarding things for me when I travel is not the places that I go, or the things that I do, it is the people who I met. I think it’s the most rewarding thing about traveling and definitely a great reason to be a traveller.

In one sentence : I love people !
