About Me

Born and raised in Paris, now living in Amsterdam for 5 years. I'd describe myself as a creative Epicurean :)
I've just finished my second bachelor and taking a break to fulfil my dream of visiting New York for the first time for a month in October!
I'm into arts &culture, photography, cinema, design. I'm also a huge foodie, I love discovering food from new cultures and bonding with people over food. The Amsterdam nightlife has been treating me well: I do have a penchant for indie electronic music, disco and other happy beats :)
I'm also a lot into yoga and have been working as volunteer in a yoga studio in Amsterdam for 2 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted my first couchsurfers when I was 17 in Paris.

Was such a great experience. I've been missing doing it since, but have been living in small apartments
in Amsterdam with many many roomies... So it's time for a new couchsurfing adventure :)
I love sharing - from food to stories - there's nothing like opening your heart to strangers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies : Coppola, Gondry, Anderson, Fincher, Wim Wenders, James Gray....
recently Call Me by Your Name totally stole my heart. Love to watch foreign movies but difficult when you're an expat because of subtitles! :O

Music: love some indie: Khruangbin, Maribou State, Joe Goddard, Little Dragon, Radiohead, the XX
and electronic stuff like Four Tet, Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper, Mano Le Tough,
love some good oldies disco (Chemise, CHIC),
the classics : Nancy Sinatra, Nina Simone, Ottis Redding,
some ethiopian jazz, israelian music.... make me discover stuff, I'd love that !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to Amsterdam because it was my dream city and successfully making it my home :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make french toast, and some other tasty things. Can teach you some words in French, Italian, and Dutch.

I am obsessed with languages and always love to learn idioms and local expressions. I also would love to discover your neighbourhood and learn from your perspective of your city :)

Let's share some good music, some wine and laughs :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some of my time, energy and stories - my culture and my positivity!
I'll be respectful of your space and schedule.
I've always been a tidy and neat roommate too :)
