Hello! I'm Anais, from Paris and Berlin. I'm an artist, and researcher on the theme of daily life. I work a lot with food and especially ferments, also with photography, writing and publishing. I am a fashion stylist too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm exploring the world AND researching about alternative and more conscious ways of living.
This means living pretty much out of my backpack at the moment!
I am often travelling, to check out cultural organizations and places, to participate into art residencies or to visit friends all over the world --ideally all three at the same time.
I try to minimize the airplane travels, so I'm more often on trains. If I am going overseas to places that can only be reached by air travel, then I am staying for longer periods and taking the time to really live in those places -instead of touring around frantically ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day and all tiny things can be amazing. I just love simple daily life, really. :)
But if you want some specifics, I was once riding an Icelandic horse alone on a frozen lava field at sunrise and it felt really great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach fermentation workshops as a way to re-skill people. I know lots about food, fashion and conscious lifestyle and I am always ready to share!
