Hi ! My name is Stéphanie Vy, I'm from Lyon, France, where I study in the Institute of Political Sciences.
I'm actually living in Mexico City, Mexico, where I'm intern at TECHO, an NGO fighting against extreme poverty.

I'm from Cambodia and Vietnam, so that I always grew up with a double culture as I lived in France, and it opened up my mind with the permanent need to know more about different cultures and ways of living.

I love travelling but not running after countries, I prefer taking my time and enjoying it to share the culture with locals and finally be part of them. Hope to meet you one day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because forcing destiny is nice when it allows you meeting people and creating new memories !

Interests

I'm really interested in international relations, art (surrealism overall), music (like 14 hours a day), latin american history, I practiced for four years French boxing, and food is my best passion.

Music, Movies, and Books

From Fall Out Boy to The Fray, I especially love indie rock, indie folk and alternative rock (Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, MGMT, The Kooks...)

And from Jane Austen to Pullman, I have a preference for french literature.

And I'm actually kinda in love with Interstellar.
