ABOUT MY TRIP IN AUSTRALIA

I arrived in Australia last October in Sydney and I’m really enjoying the country and my travelling lifestyle so far. About the things I’ve done :
- spent 3 weeks as a volunteer in an animal sanctuary an learned a lot about Australian native animals
- travelled in Tasmania with a van and did a lot of hikes all around the island
- worked for three months in very remote place called hebel in Queensland
- done the east coast from Brisbane to Cairns and stopped at all the famous and beautiful places
- travelled from Cairns to Darwin by car in a convoy with 4 others people and visited the Kakadu National Park

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from an architecture school in France and I'm taking some time to travel. After having been focused on my studies for 5 years, I wanted to seek a slightly different experience that would help me grow and discover myself in a different way.

I grew up in France in the countryside, so I like wide open spaces and nature, what I like to find is serenity and calm while feeling so small compared to it. I also love cities and more urban spaces (I studied architecture after all 🙂) and discovering places by walking and strolling in the streets.

I am passionate about all forms of art (from design and handicraft to photography and architecture of course) since I started studying art in high school. I'm always ready to discover new things and new artists even if I sometimes don't understand everything!
Otherwise, I'm passionate about architecture because of its relationship with construction but also and especially because of its social aspect. It is a way for me to question the relationships between people, different cultures and society in general. That's why I like to travel, meet people, gather a lot of experiences and learn everyday !

I also like sports and I have already practiced some, but I don't intend to stop here and continue to discover other practices, starting with surfing!

Finally some words about my personality, I’m a rather discreet and shy person but if I feel confident it is not difficult for me to open up to people ! 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said before, immersion in a country is really important to me and gives a special meaning to your trip, so what better way than to stay with locals?
I've already had the chance to live with an American family for a few weeks to learn English and I loved it so I'd like to recapture some of that experience through my travels.

Teach, Learn, Share

You never really know what you will learn through an experience but it’s always enriching, in one way or another. So I don’t tell what I would be able to learn you but sharing still a good way have good surprises right ?
And of course, CS is for me the best way to learn and immersed my self in Australian culture and way of life !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking (especially pastry) and share around a meal, so it would be a pleasure to cook together and if you don't know or want to try French cuisine I would be happy to share it with you !
