Hi!

I'm a French-German photojournalist usually based in Tripoli, Lebanon. I grew up in southern France and lived in Berlin for 3 years before moving to Lebanon. When couchsurfing, I bring French-Lebanese cooking skills, many stories about the Middle-East, optimistic energy and smiles.

I love hearing stories of other people, discovering cities through their inhabitants, and learning more about life in this way. I'm excited to meet diverse humans all over, no matter religion, ethnicity or origin (but I don't tolerate sexism, racism, etc).

Collaborative and open being-together is important to me. If I couchsurf, I'll cook, do groceries, participate in local life as much as possible. And I expect the same in return - if possible :)

Meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling from one place to another while meeting "local" people. hearing cool stories and getting good insider tips about a culture is the best way to travel! Far away from big shiny hotels, fully packed tourist busses and walking tours...
