Hi everyone !
My name is Amélie, I'm 26 and I am currently traveling throughout Asia for 10 months!
I have many passions and hobbies, of which the most important are music (and singing - watch out when I'm in the shower lol 😉), traveling and meeting new people.
I had the chance to go on two Erasmuses along my studies, and to live in the two beautiful countries that are Italy and Hungary. In 2021, I went on my first solo trip through Europe with an interrail ticket, and after some short trips here and there, I ended up quitting my job at the end of 2024 to go on a backpacking adventure in South Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people and create connections with locals while I am travelling, since I think that, no matter what landscapes and treasures a place can offer, the greatest wealth remains the human connections and the exchange that you have with people. (Sounds reallyyyy cheesy but I do mean it ahah)
I learnt from my past trips a lot of things from the nicest people and I just want to keep being open to meeting people from different countries, cultures, backgrounds, with différents lives, hopes and dreams, with whom I hope I can chat with and hopefully create connections.
