About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn chinese, improve my german, travel to every country in the world!

ABOUT ME

Even though I studied communication I'm an english teacher in Shanghai. I have studied in a french school where I met people all over the world (France, Senegal, Gabon...), so I'm used to being in contact with different cultures. I love learning about other countries and I think the best way to do it is to travel. I have done two times the interrail around Europe and it was a great experience.

PHILOSOPHY

You will reach your destination even though you travel slowly.

Blind is a man without a book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed a few times, attended a lot of CS meetings in Shanghai, and now can host too!
