About Me

In 2015, I quit my job as a wildlife biologist and solo traveled in South America, including Antarctica, and Asia and Europe.

Then in 2016/2017, I traveled with my boyfriend (a French who I met in Argentina) through Mexico and the western US. It was amazing 8-month road trip!

And now in March 2019, we begin a new adventure: a road trip through Africa!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people and sharing experiences, especially related to travel, but also about other interests and just about life in general. Staying in a new city with a local can really enhance the experience of the place.

Music, Movies, and Books

My iPod if filled with a mix of all types of music: hip hop, rap, R&B, Latin, reggae, rock, country, electronica, etc. I've been a Prince fan since I was about 9 years old and was very sad when he died. What I listen to on any given day depends on my mood. Music is the soundtrack of life.

I like learning about new music, movies, and books from others and do not prefer just one genre. My current book is The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, s story of two sisters in France during World War II, and their struggle to survive and resist the German occupation of France

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's a draw between visiting Antarctica and trekking for 23 days in the Himalayas in Nepal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach through my actions, I learn by doing and from what others are doing, and I share by interacting with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel experiences
Laughter
A spicy vegetarian meal.
