About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying my last long vacations before starting a new job in Barcelona. Concerned about climate change and social progress.

ABOUT ME

I heard that small girls tend to have strong personalities ... I don't know if that's true but I'm rather small !
I like meeting people and enjoying life. I do it through my love for beautiful landscapes, for sports (hiking, cycling, running, swimming, organizing parties with my friends, I'm rather social, open-minded and energetic !)
I like studying Chinese. I like communicating with people different from me. I am very curious about what people like. Maybe that's why I like Marketing ;)
I love any kind of challenge and I'm not afraid of difficulty.
I love my country (France) and I would be very happy to enable people discovering it !

PHILOSOPHY

1- Rather late than never
2- The better is still to come
3- From a big sorrow emerge a greater good

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, as I don't live in my own place, I cannot give in return.
But I plan to do it as soon as I have my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted one girl couchsurfer when I was leaving in Singapore.
I've been a couchesurfer in the US several times and once in France. I kept in touch with some of them and we see ourselves sometimes when we travel !
It made my trips in the US much greater !
