Born and raised in Alsace, France. Studied a year in Strasbourg and then in Besançon to become a French teacher to foreigners. I taught a year in Scotland as an assistant and kept going in Piemonte, Italy and now here in Michigan.

I love traveling and meeting new people and I love give my time to others to make them discover as well! It's a fair and fun trade.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started traveling on my own when I was 22. An assisting job took me to Scotland, and I got the chance to discover most of the UK. That's when I develop a traveling taste. At that time, I didn't know couch surfing, but I met a lot of people through youth hostels and through my jobs and I started traveling through my friends, going all over Europe to see them again.

I think the best way to discover a place and its culture is through locals, that's why I want to offer the opportunity to others and get to meet new people in other places I don't know any one yet!

Interests
