About Me

Currently I am travelling in South America with my boyfriend Thomas for 3months. We want discover Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. (if we have time, it would be nice to see a bit of Peru :))

At the end of this trip we go to Canada, first traveling in the country and then find a job (in Québec probably).

During this all trip we want most of all meet a maximum of people to get an amazing human experience

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I start Couchsurfing when I decided to leave France to New-Zealand. I started to meet some locals, share experiences and go around with them. Then I started to be hosted by people from several countries (Italie/Czech Republic/Bosnie/New Zealand/Croatia).

Now I am back in Toulouse, it is my turn to host people from all around the world and gave us a good experience of France. Moreover having couchsurfers at home is a great opportunity to do something different and meet people, I do not need to travel, the world come to me :)

Interests

I would like to know better Europe, unfortunatelly I am running out of time, so I host foreigners and learn thanks to them!

When I have free time and just want to relax, I rather to stay in the country side or in a peaceful area, listen nature and read.

I also like go around a the city, have a walk and take coffee in a terrace with friends and talk about life, enjoy the view, the weather.

I could spend an entire afternoon listen music, chilling with my friends and play board game.

I love differents sports, most of them are outdoors sports: Hiking/Skiing/Canyoning/Horse riding/Kayaking ...

And most of all I have an absolute passion for wine and cheese :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen different kind of music styles it depends my mood and the people I am with.

Actually I am reading Game of Thrones.

Concerning movie, the last movie I really loved was "The voices", but I love different kind of movie, "Wild" and the "The Secret life of Walter Mitty" were great. I also loved "Inception", and sometimes I am really into Horror movie.
