About Me

I'm currently doing a gap-year to do two internships one in Birmingham from August to January and one in Boston from March to June. I'm using Couchsurfing as a way to find short term accomodation to let me a bit of time to find my own apartment. I also hope to discover the couchsurfing community in each city.

Hi !

Here some facts about me:
- I'm a scientist, I'm passionate about neuroscience, psychology and evolution.
- I'm a bookworm and a big Harry Potter fan
- I'm more of a cat person (also like dog but I prefer to lay on the sofa all day with my cats)
- I'm hard-working and ambitious
- I'm funny or I try, my patronus would be Chandler Bing
- I'm vegetarian and I try to be vegan
- I'm anxious, I get stressed easily but I'm working on it
- I'm quite passionate about personal development and almond butter

I always wanted to travel abroad and couchsurfing seems like the best way to have a great and true experience in a country.
Traveling is not just about visiting new places, it's much more about discovering a new culture and to experience it fully you have to be emerged in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that to truly travel and experience the city you have to be with its inhabitants and what a better way to achieve it than to invade their couch ?
I discovered wonderful people via couchsurfing, I slept on their couch, I cooked them vegan meal, we talked for hours, we become flatmates, we played games, we laughed, we remade the word..

I love the idea of meeting new people when traveling and I try to send my requests to people that I think I could get along with.

At the moment I read The unbearable lightness of being.
I watch some tv shows but I never finished one. I like American Horror Story, The Handmaid Tale, How I met your mother, The Big Bang Theory, Friends, Shameless, Doctor Who, Scrubs...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went in Greece solo to discover Athens and sail on a boat accross the Ionian Islands to pick up trash from beaches on the spur of the moment.
We did a quick tour of Europe by bus with couchsurfing with a friend.

But I like to think that I haven't live it yet.
