Overview
About Me
Bonjour!
I'm a Political science and Econ student born and raised in Paris, France. I love experiencing new places and getting to know new people, I lived in nyc for a little while (so you’ll be able to understand my accent hopefully) and I've travelled in Africa and a lot in Europe, and more randomly to other places (don't get me started on India).
I'm really into arts, especially contemporary art, literature as well. Also I've been practicing yoga for the past 2-3 years, I like to get my body moving, I dance, did some boxing,
My friends are what I'm most proud of, I love creating environments in which people feel good aka throwing great parties, including costume parties
I love people who are eager to learn stuff, do stuff, or become philosophers for the night. I guess I'm trying to be like that myself, balancing my infinite curiosity with the occasional existential crisis haha. Speaking of which, I'm also a pretty good listener, in another life I'll be a psychologist!
Nice to meet you!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm here to meet people of course, while I'm travelling for a project I'll be working on this summer: I have 1-2 months and I want to finish writing my book. Couchsurfing will hopefully help me find shelter AND inspiration! So basically, I'm buying a one-way ticket to NYC and I'll see where that gets me! And I'll write on the way!!

Music, Movies, and Books
Such a hard question, ask me when we meet! Among my favorite books are Franny &Zooey by Salinger, Hesse’s Steppenwolf
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hmm another hard question. I mean, there's this Polish family who offered us some of his homemade vodka on a train to Budapest, or maybe this Jamaican guy who showed me his poetry on a random bench in SoHo, or that time I met a guy from Papua New Guinea in Israel and he tried to convince me to open a gin factory in Germany. The rest is history!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you French! I’d be happy to do yoga with you... I'd also be happy to discuss modern and contemporary art, I know a bit. And of course, economics, political science, and I have a masters in management haha (but hopefully that's not what you're into)
I'm interested in learning anything actually!
