About Me

It is funny to realize how tailor-made your life can be. So that's what I'm currently doing : choosing my life's fabric, colors, cut and style. And I'm quite proud of what it's looking like.

I don't exactly know how to present myself, but most people would say that I'm a warm, open and energetic woman. Reading books, discovering new cultures, listening to people's stories and walking around new cities might be some of the most enjoyable things in my world. Oh, and add to that having endless deep conversations with friends as well as with strangers of course.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem "You can never become old and wise if you never have been young and crazy". So I aspire to live as many things as possible and never give up on something if it's to regret it later. Life is short !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is fine. Discovering is better. Living is awesome. Each time I visit a new place, I try seing it as the locals do. Isn't staying at their place the best way of doing that ?

Interests

I often joke about leaving everything so I can find a non-connected house full of books, tea and chocolates. It's kind of my dream life.

Except it would mean to forget about the two thing I care the most about : growing through interaction with people and doing my best to make a positive impact on my environnement.
