About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet the world

ABOUT ME

Easy going, curious about everything, open-minded and persistent...I come from Paris, France and I've been very early attracted to other countries and other cultures and I've always wanted to travel as much as I can. This is one of the reasons, if not THE reason, why I decided to do a double degree and stayed 2 years in Germany. I am currently in the UK for my Masters and I'm really enjoying it! The best memories I have are those of my encounters with new people over the years and this is really something I want to continue during my travels. So I've only got one thing to say: I want more, more and more! :-)

PHILOSOPHY

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
"If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope in it" (Albert Einstein)
"If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don't, you will find an excuse." (Arabic proverb)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In a near future, I'd like to fully participate to the CS experience and host people. But right now, since I just moved in a small flat without living room, it's not very practical. However, I would really enjoy a coffee or drink with nearby travelers, either in London or also in France when I'm there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

By now, the only experience of CS I've had has been with friends. Most of them are living abroad so I had many opportunities to go and visit them. This will soon change as I'm going to Australia in a few weeks and I'm planning to couch surf there so I can maximize my oz experience!
