Estoy ahora en Ibiza para aprender espanol y disfrutar la isla bonita tambien naturalmente !

Always hard to describe oneself... I'm supposed to be an ENFP (according to the relatively wide-spread 16Personnalities Test).

I am enthusiastic about anything I learn and I am active and socialize easily with most people. But this is rather inner enthusiasm as I am actually very calm, outwardly.

I graduated in Germany at the University of Cologne and in France at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in German Law in 2014 and French Law in 2016, but what I truely love is teaching.
I have been working as a half-time kindergarten teacher for almost three years in Germany and then France. Prior to that I taught French as a foreign language in Cologne and then German as a foreign language to Roma refugees from Ex-Yougoslavian countries.
I founded and ran an NGO that hosts almost 100 refugees in Paris within French families in Paris and the suburbs for free.
I'm starting a world tour of alternative primary schools in September while writing a Master Degree in Educationnal Sciences.

Love meditating and alternative/underground lifestyles!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been using co-driving (Blablacar, Mitfahrgelegenheit) or hitch-hiking a lot and I loved meeting people I wouldn' have met otherwise. It's crazy how the journey was then even more interesting than the final destination!
I stayed with CS hosts in Lyon, Grenoble, Toulouse, Freiburg, London and Zurich

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I founded an NGO at 21, which had after a year of existence over 300 volunteers and provided 90 refugees in Paris with a shelter within a French family. It doesn't sound very crazy but it wasn't easy and not many people try it so well...

What I Can Share with Hosts

stories and fun, I suppose?
