About Me

Hey!

I learned about couch-surfing a few weeks ago when my housemate hosted 2 couch-surfers, I directly really liked the concept and I am currently giving it a go myself!

I am a Dutch/French student in Marine Biology, I am currently in my second and last year of studies. I am passionate about the oceans and everything that has to do with it. I am active, sociable and funny (I mean I laugh at my own jokes).
Currently I am doing an internship in Iceland setting up an oyster culture program on land. I know a lot about oysters so you can ask me anything on that topic, or I can just talk about them for hours at the time.
I have as a mission to work in the aquaculture sector, specially oysters, as I think we can turn the industry into a positive activity for humans and the environment alike.

Ohh and I grew up in France and studied in the Netherlands.

Well that's it for now,
See ya!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing is a great way of traveling and meeting new people. Each experience gained though couch-surfing, whether you are a host or a surfer, is unique and beautiful. I am looking to meet new people and experience countries I visit in a 'real' way and show new people the place I live and love.
