Overview
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 !
