About Me

Hello !
Well the basics; I am 25 years old, I am half French, half English, but I grew up in Germany. This is when I usually have to explain myself more ^^

My mother had my twin and I, we were quite a surprise so she had to stop working. 14 months later my little sister arrived. Even bigger surprise! My dad found a new and better job in Germany so the whole crew followed and we finally stayed there for 12 years :)

Best childhood ever with the snow and all !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

With my sisters we call each others hybrids because of all the mixes and moving. My family is international and we moved a bit when we were young and then even more when we started our studies and internships.
Obviously growing up meant to go different ways, to different countries, but we make sure to have a big family holiday once every year or so.

I really like France but I do need to travel and see new places and meet new people, so hopefully I will be able to do so here :)

Interests

Like many people I work, or have to work ^^I am a buyer for a big European aircraft manufacturer. Luckily I like what I do so that's pretty good.
5 times a week I go the gym, a good and healthy diet is something I care deeply about. With the occasional excess that is very needed :)
Then comes the week-end and it's pretty much sleeping in, going to the cinema, out for drinks and dancing, or a quiet night in with friends around a bottle of wine!
Sundays are usually spent with my parents as they live only half an hour away from me, my dad and I are bikers so if the weather allows it we go out for a ride !

Oh yeah, and I have a fascination with sloths, don't ask me why I just melt with cuteness overload when I read or hear something that is related to them!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like pretty much anything that you can dance to, and I mean real dancing, something like rock'n'roll, salsa, jive.
I am more of a book person than a movie, I can read a 500 pages book in a day, if it's that good I won't let go! I don't mind going to watch the movie of the book I read, because my imagination is so intense that usually the story and details that I had built in my head have nothing to do with the movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many people will probably write here some kind of humanitarian project or wonderful country they visited.
For me, it's much simpler. I am going to cheat a bit and instead of "one amazing thing I've done" it's "One amazing Thing I've felt".
Holding on to a tortoise while diving in the Indian Ocean. It got scared, which I can understand, I can be a fright with the mask and tuba sticking out, but as it was diving further down towards the reef, I could see all the different colours on its shell and the beauty of the animal in the wild. I eventually let go, I am not yet a mermaid. but the feeling of freedom I felt at that moment will always be a powerful memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is basically the moto of my world trip :)
Dream it, wish it, do it. Teach, Learn, Share. I would love to see and discover how other people live, what they do, their cultures, what is a normal day for someone else? I would be more than happy to exchange what I have learnt and experienced and I would be so grateful to learn more about what this world has to offer us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am calm, well organised and very clean. I won't make any mess and I will respect your home as if it were mine. Unfortunately I am bad at cooking but I love to talk and exchange about pretty much anything :)
