About Me

Basically, CS was made for me: I am an endless traveler and I genuinely believe in the power of community and solidarity.

After living in a small French Northern town called Nancy for 19 years, it was hight time that I left my 'Douce France'. So I decided to resume my studies abroad. I first stayed two years in Madrid, then I went to Canada and Belgium for internships. My last big trip was in Sydney for six months where I basically spent my time surfing, eating avocados and sunbathing.

So it has been 5 years by now that I am living abroad and accumulating rich experiences and stunning memories. I want to keep meeting people from places that I dream of. All of this staying on my couch ;)

I'm very keen on salsa, sightseeing and meeting people from all over the world and with a variety of backgrounds. I am extremely curious about a wide range of topics, so it is very easy to spark my curiosity!

Lately, I'm not available to host but I have time to meet a couchsurfer and to be myself a CS :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just heard of CouchSurfing during my internship in Montréal. It's hard to focus on a specific CS-Experience, as mostly all meetings with CS were awesome and unique. But, my first CS-experience was very nice cause my host (hamza) was so kind and very helpful. It will always be a wonderful memory.

I love the open-mindness of the CS community and I do hope to meet some more interesting and friendly CS' around the world.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If we ever meet, I might tell you about the peculiar story of the "cucaracha" in Sevilla...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some steps of salsa or bachata ;) Naturally, if you want to learn a bit of French or Spanish I'd love to help you! However, I am relatively young and (fresh!), I am really opened to learn new things myself!
And the best thing we can share is a meal and some wine!
