Overview
About Me
I spent my childhood begging my mom to go on a holiday in a foreign country. I booked my first trip in 2010 and since then, I can't stop myself from traveling as if it was one of this kind of virus that once you get it you have to live with it.
Even if I had to slow down a little bit because of my studies, I mostly got to visit european countries and lived 10 months in Massachusetts, USA which was one of the greatest experience I ever lived especially when I crossed the country by bus.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I never got to use my CS account but my friends and I surfed couches a couple of times in Milan, Philadelphia and Glasgow.
Even if I like hostels, couchsurfing is probably one of the best way to immerse yourself in foreign cultures.
Interests
Tourism and world heritage is so important to me that I decided to study this field and actually just graduated from a master degree in tourism and french heritage.
I feel really concerned about the endangered heritage like the destruction of Palmyre, Timbuktu, the old city of Jerusalem or any monument or natural parks that are not preserved.
I'm also concerned about endangered species.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I crossed the USA alone by bus (from the east coast to the west coast) and stopped every now and then. I met amazing people I would never forget.
