(Before all, a simple thing : Couchsurfing is NOT Tinder) Bonjour I'm Mina 🌼 Here are some of my hobbies : watercolor painting, photography and videos with my drone, video editing. Spending time with my friends, laughing, talking about nothing and everything with them sur les bords de l'Erdre in Nantes (the best neighborhood by the river in Nantes in my point of view). Planning solo trips or roadtrips with friends. Also love last minute trip (last time was in Montpellier and it was crazy!). Trying some yoga when I'm not too late in the morning. I love second hand clothes. Also love flowers in all their forms : real ones, tattoos, paintings, drawings, on clothes. I like to cook various kind of simple dishes from different countries (my favorite are Japanese, Spanish, Mexican and Italian). Museums, nights out and walks by the sea during the weekend. Thinking of becoming a freelance drone video maker (just an idea for the moment). And I'd love to have one day my own french café-brunch to sell a special desert created by my mom : ✨raspberry tartelettes✨

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I met super kind CS hosts and guests in London, Barcelona, Toulouse, Nantes and Limoges... I loved meeting them. Each experience was unique. I'm on CS for those kind of exchanges. The couple of time that I traveled alone : The first time 7 months in Ireland working as an au pair and 3 months in Spain for an internship My first time as a solo CS in London
Teach, Learn, Share
I’ve traveled several times thanks to my parents, I'm so grateful for that My favourite trips would be the ones when I was travelling alone. I just met incredible people and spent wonderful times with them.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Visiting, talking about music, movies, trips, food... anything ! We can cook together, I love to discover new recipes. I can show you Nantes with its cute gardens and museums. Show you the city by bike (it's only 2€ or 5€ for the weekend with the Bicloo app). We can create a watercolor painting together or going out of the town to take pictures and videos with my little drone Bobby. I know good bars and restaurants in Nantes if you need tips to visit the area ! Also, if you ever need to talk I'm here.
