About Me

Hi,

I'm a 26 years old, optimistic and positive-thinking female, working in Human Resources. Basically, I am "just" very interested in meeting people, whatever their origins, language and culture. I lived one year and then travelled around a piece of South America (Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Colombia), I met there amazing people and it was a very impressive experience to me. Well, I have to admit that I never used couchsurfing yet but I'm really curious about it, so I accept any piece of advice and maybe some encouragement to finally try it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to discover a city, the local culture and to make friendships in places you don't know anybody. I like the sense of sharing and helping. I recently discovered that CS develops a large community, not only by the hosting but also by international and intercultural events, and I support this kind of initiative.

Interests

I am a very curious and open minded girl, so that i'm interested in a lot of activities: sport (regularly jogging and dancing, I also like volleyball, cycling, swimming, climbing); cultural outings (theatre, cinema, museums), parties, play games... Just suggest me something to do , I will try it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Especially interested about Latin American culture and French alternative productions, the music I like depends on the moment: I dance to fast music, I spend quiet moments listening classical, soul... One of my favorite sound of the moment: Faada Fredy>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R08rX2-sTuE

I like to read romains about society, wellness, personal fictions. My last crushes: "Ce que je peux te dire d'elles", "Tours et détours de la vilaine fille", "L'espionne de Tanger", "La vérité sur l'affaire Harry Quebert"

Less or more, I feel the same interest for various kinds of movies: historical, comedies, dramas, social and psychological. The one which inspires me since 2002: "L'auberge espagnole" Cédric Klapish

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently decided to leave my job and all I have in France to fly again to Latin America and begin an indefinite-period roadtrip alone. Departure: may 2016. First step: Mexico DF, next stages still to define!
