About Me

I just finished my master degree in sociology. I am traveling before having a stable work. During my different travels, I realized a pretty much prefer couchsurfing to youth hostels; Because you really get in touch with the local culture.

I am smiley, comely, and most of all curious. I like to share experience and learn from people, from different cultures.
Respect, comprehension and listening are important human values for me.
I like to share a good meal and interesting discussions. I like to discover different local products, especially wine and beer.
I love sports that implies discovering nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Relax, nothing is under control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did couchsurfing in Europe and it's the best way to travel. I really much prefer this to youth hostel, because you really get in touch with the local culture.

Interests

My strongest interest is nature and discovering it by different ways, wether this is in hiking, skiing, cycling, canyoning, kayaking.
I studied sociology, so the culture is very important to me and this is why couchsurfing is great. I like discussion about world representations, about habits, costums and traditions. I like to learn more individually the new people I meet.

I like music, especially Pink Floyd. Psychedelic rock, blues, punk, jazz and classical music.
I play Accoustic Guitar or ukulele alone or with friends.
I like art in its different expressions.
