About Me

I'm a sociology, political sciences & anthropology student in exchange in UC Santa Barbara. I come from a ski resort in the French Alps, I've been studying a couple of years in Lyon. Being a student allows me to travel a loooot and I love it.
I travel mostly by hitchiking, helping and asking people if they can host me for a night or more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually travel by myself, I met so much people around the world talking about this website so I though I can try it and trust it. It's a peaceful place, a safe way to share, to meet a foreign culture. It shows a modern solidarity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

France - Hungary by hitchhiking with my best friend.
Having two turtles, lost them in my garden because they were racing turtles ... Strong enough to run faster than me ...
Also yesterday I went surfing early, it was one of the best day of my life, the first time I saw sealions and dolfins swimming just next to me.
