Overview
About Me
Hi folks! I'm an easy going frenchie who loves sharing her favourite hobbies: hiking, mountain biking, rafting, snowboarding and many other outdoor activities! Here I should also add I enjoy a nice drink and a good talk with old and new friends 😉
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m preparing for a solo world tour—a dream I’ve been nurturing for years. While I’m excited to explore new landscapes and cultures, what truly inspires me is the chance to connect with locals, hear their stories, and experience the world through their eyes.
For me, Couchsurfing is more than just a place to stay; it’s about sharing meaningful moments, exchanging ideas, and sometimes even cooking or chatting over tea. I believe the most rewarding travels are those where we learn from each other, embrace unexpected kindness, and celebrate the diversity of human experiences.
I’m happy to contribute in any way I can—whether by sharing my own travel stories, helping out with daily tasks, or simply bringing good vibes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Not sure "amazing" is the word.. I sometimes don't do a thing, I sometimes do crazy things but I regularly do stupid things no matter how hard I try not to
Teach, Learn, Share
Currently learning how to make time for everything I want to learn
Culture, myths and legends in every possible place on our beautiful planet, hear as many opinions as possible, as many stories about life and how to make the most of it - be inspired by Nature and People.
What I also wish to learn (by myself or from others)
Drive a motorbike - cook this yummy thaï food I was frequently feeding on a few years back - start using on my guitar so there is finally a reason for me playing the air guitar when I hear a solo - improve my karting trajectories so I'm not a lap behind - do a spin-flower with my pois without hurting my face - take on taekwondo, shooting and flying lessons
