About Me

Two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two ears and a lot of curiosity, empathy and respect. These are the main things you should know for now. The rest will come up when we meet around a good meal or something like that :)

Otherwise, in a few quotes:

"In a gentle way, you can shake the world" - Mahatma Ghandi

“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.”- Jonathan Safran Foer

"If we opened people up, we'd find landscapes" - Agnès Varda

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that we travel not only through places but also through people. This is why I love to connect with locals or people that know and live the place at its fullest. I also believe that receiving people and welcoming them in your own home is a great way of travelling without leaving the house.
I mean, who doesn't get this rush of adrenaline and aspiration for new projects after listening to great stories?

I also realize how every single person I hosted brought me something, a new song, a new topic of interest, curiosity, or a new friendship!
I also believe that travelling makes you more humble, as you realize how tiny you are in this world and how important it is to reposition yourself into this perspective. I have learned a lot through couchsurfers. Especially to listen and to give. And when it comes to my travelling, I can't complain cause my eyes have been spoiled so far. Not to mention that every single time, I win a bit more faith in humanity.

If you are happy with what you've just read and feel like joining my bubble of cheerfulness, don't hesitate and write me. Bring your toothbrush and your smile and we're all set :)

Ps: I don't use this platform as a dating website, so don't come with further expectations, thank you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

( CURRENTLY MOVING OUT )

Appartment on the 12th floor (hope you are not afraid of heights)
I have a comfi sofa bed that opens for 2 (3 if you don't mind squeezing a little) in my living room. You can buy and cook whatever you need using the kitchen. In case you need a towel, please let me know a bit in advance cause I have some spare ones.

I hope you won't mind coexisting with my many plants and books, and perhaps my many friends coming to squat my flat for a tea or some wine.

Feel at home!
