About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world, travel and learn!

ABOUT ME

I like traveling. I spent a year in Japan in 2004 as a highschool student, and I also spent a year in a Canadian university in Ontario. I have been going several times to Algeria and Morocco, and I am currently trying to learn arabic!

I currently live in Belgium with my boyfriend, who is an architecture and city planning PhD student. I work at Amnesty International, which is an NGO working in the human rights field. I am responsible for all the activities dedicated to the youth (human rights education, activism...). This an incredible job, I really enjoy it!!

What else... I love sewing (my boyfriend and I create funny teddy bears that we like to offer), playing theater, running, swimming, hiking, camping, cooking, reading, meeting new people! I love trying to understand what's going on around, discovering societies, cultures...

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to help when I can, to have the time to talk with my guests and to show them around. When I am hosted, I love to share with my hosts and to learn!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have experienced being hosted several times in Canada and that was very nice!!! I have met cool people, very helpful and welcoming.
I have also hosted nice people in France and Belgium.
