About Me

I'm a happy, easygoing, humorous person with an inquisitive curious mind and love to get to know other people, their culture, stories and life style.

We only have one life, so much live it !

«Fais de ta vie un rêve, et d'un rêve, une réalité.» Make your life a dream, and a dream, a reality
_ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover places through the people who live there when i traveling.
To get to know people that I couldn't meet otherwise, create those special bonds you create when you travel and you know that it's up to you to keep a friend (or not) into your life.
I think It's the perfect way to meet locals and spend a amazing moment together.

December 2017, I have never used the Couchsurfing platform yet. Before, when I was traveling I was hosted by an acquaintance, a friend of a friend or hostel. From December 25 to January 6, I go on a road trip in Eastern Europe with 2 other girls: Gaelle and Fiona
It will be my first experience CS, I'm sure it will be an extraordinary experience and rich meeting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, being born was pretty cool :D

Seriously, full of travel time are dear in my heart, but two different memories come to my mind:

The first is probably one of my best travel memories and I was only 16 years old. It was my first trip abroad without my parents, 1 month backpacking trip to Egypt. We were a group of young people. We climbed Mount Sinai, the view was beautiful, the sunset too. we slept at the top to see the sunrise. It was extraordinary, magical !

The second is the first time I've lived abroad.
I've been to Netherland for an internship in cosmetics lab of 3 months 1 years ago ; i I lived in Amsterdam and I met amazing people and enjoyed some beautiful sceneries ; one of the most wonderful time of my life !

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : basic biology and microbiology I guess ; manual activités and the cooking of chocolate mousse, crepes, quiche lorraine and tartiflette … yummy (what a skill !)
I also like manual activities such as renovating furniture or objects found in flea markets.

Learn :
Can be develop even more my english! I'm used to scientific english and a little less than "spoken english". I'm better at writ than at oral. so yes, improve my level of English. Astrophysics is also very cool. Techniques to produce less trash in one's everyday life maybe…,
I'm very curious about everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- A passion for cats (just kidding)
- A concert, a movie, a play, a visit to the Museum or the place to be of your city ?
- A beer, a wine and a good meal !
- Board games ?
and whatever you want to share with me !
