Overview
About Me
Hello, my name is Valérie, I'm 24 years old, I'm a french girl born in Savoie (in the French Alps). I left my 500 residents little village to study publishing in Bordeaux, and then Paris, for 5 years. After a two month travel in Argentina, I hope to come back near my mountains...
I'm a nature, mountains, skiing and children's books lover. I really care about ecology and the future of our planet. Going in Argentina is my dream for years !
I grew up in a restored farm surrounded by animals (donkey, sheeps, hens and ducks) and always in the respect of nature.
Even if I love skiing, hiking and snowboarding, I'm not particularly sportive. I'm really interested in everything about art but in literary and writing in particular.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As far as I remember, I always dreamt to go to South America. In October 2019, this dream will finally come true. I will stay in Bolivia and Argentina for 6 to 8 months.
I'm already looking for where I could have free accomodation in different places I would like to go to. I can work in exchange : I often help my parents with animals or other outside chores. We have bed and breakfast cottages and I often help with cleaning too.
Obviously, the most important to me is meeting people and speaking with them because I'll come to practice my Spanish and learn how people live in South America.
