About Me

Nurse on break to travel, live differently, experience more... 😌
I've always wanted to travel and I've done it before, but for many reasons I've never done it over a long distance or duration. When the time came, I sold my stuff, my car, quit my job, turned in my apartment and took a one-way flight with freedom as my best friend. I left France at the end of March 2023.
About me:
Independent and sociable
Love to experiment and learn new things, music of all kinds and dance, sports, reading, cinema, animals, tattoos, so many different things
I do/have tried a lot of different activities out and in door ! 🏞️🏕️
I like hiking, playing darts/pool, aerial dance, yoga,... I'm a beginner in surfing, diving, motorcycling, ... 🏄🏻‍♀️🎯🛼🥋🏍️
A little talkative (but mostly in French ^^')
Lover of vegan cuisine, not really knowing how to cook but passionate about food and restaurants...😁🥙🥪🍺🍷
I help with anything if I can.
I enjoy the moment 😌.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm used to meeting people wherever I go without any application so I found hosts and hungout with people without the couchsurfing app most of the time (and also not as a host cause I used to live more in the countryside and no guests asked to come to my place 🤭).
I also haven't traveled much in recent years before and up until now I've used woofing more for longer exchanges, I like natural areas and it echoed my values. I've learned a lot in both human and professional experiences.
Why CS :
I always hope to meet people during my trip, exchange experiences and get to know each other, have a good chat, maybe just for a few hours, or make real friends. I hope not only to see beautiful landscapes, but to learn about the country I am visiting by sharing the experience of its people.
I love listening people speak about their life and passion, discovering and learn new thing.
I would also love to share about our values, ecology, human and animal rights, plant based food, music, cinema, politics,... our professional experiences by meeting other health care professionals.
I would like to feel international sorority and solidarity.
Make encounters that will make us grow, move us, have fun, impress ourselves, discover, ... because for me the values ​​of a country or a culture are in the people who embody them and that of travel is in the encounters that have been made there.
I hope that one day when I find a new home anywhere, I will be able to welcome travelers and friends from all over the world without any borders.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many... of different origins and very varied styles... I can find interest in almost everything I think.
Books it ranges from children's reading to bloodthirsty thrillers, travel stories or love novels, music from jazz to metal or the so-called text songs, from France, Asia, America, ...
My last reading ねじまき鳥クロニクル (nejimaki-dori kuronikuru) / the bird chronicles of haruki murakami, my current reading "On the road" by Jack Kerouac I found these books on my road... ^^.
I'm always looking for new books to continue my journey with new reading if interested! 😉 I like to make books travel and usually trade them, give them away or just leave them in a place where someone else can find them and continue to make them travel.
My music at the moment is probably mainly Asian (especially Thai and Japanese) and European with Silly Fool, One ok rock, Man with a mission, Scrub, Mathilde, Blackhead, SIM, Potato, Julien Dore, Young blud, Maneskin, Monsta X . . . .. but my last concerts were around classical music and tango with a friend I met on CS ^^
Films: I like all genres, horror, fantasy, romantic, action, drama, biopic, Asian films, anime and series, ....
The last film I saw in the cinema that moved me was 浅田家!(Asada-ke!) / The Asada Family by Ryōta Nakano.
I'm also a lover of BL/GL series and films, especially when they explore the difficulties of acceptance and the evolution of rights for the LGBTQ+ community, whether the tone is dramatic or not.....
I don't really have time to watch movies/series since I travel, but I always enjoy them when I get the chance.
Don't hesitate to ask me to join you for a movie or to watch your favorite series on TV, to listen to music or even go to a music festival!!
