Bonjour, je m'appelle Zoé!

I love learning, getting to now people and their ways of life, discovering beautiful landscapes and artworks, tasting new food, being alone in places where everything is different from what I know. I am a theater artist and I also study in philosophy and political sciences.

My traveling experiences have taught me how to act in people's homes. I'm respectful, quiet and tidy. I'm confidant in my abilities to get around by my own, but open to spending some time with my hosts if they are able to! I've had the chance to travel in many places around the world with my familiy when I was younger. Today, I mostly travel solo with my bike. I love travelling by bike because it is ecological, cheap, sportive, and mostly because it allows me to take my time, get to places where buses don't, and meet people along the road. I love culture, being in nature, swiming, singing, camping and climbing moutains. I love taking about history, society, politics, philosophy, and I am curious about pretty much any subject when a person is passionate about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is simply great way to travel that makes sense in so many ways. It allows you to see the world for what it is and realize that people in every country have a kind heart and an open mind for each other. I am deeply aware that opening one's door to a stranger is an incredibly generous things to do.

Also to learn a little more each day of the langage(s) of the country I am visiting.
