About Me

Open-minded joyful human being, passionate about music, dance and improvisation.

I am curious and love to travel. I grew up in Paris but travelled a lot during the holiday. I love to learn new languages too. I feel like language and culture are so intricated, and we can learn so much about the way people view life through the words they use...

I lived in London for my studies during eight months and really enjoy the variety of nationalities and the marvelous set of opportunities to make encounters. The energy in this city is so communicative!

I have also been to Nepal where I did some volunteer work and some Wwoofing. I enjoyed the nature and the welcoming people there. I also took this opportunity to make a Vipassana retreat.

In 2018 I lived in Bogota, Colombia, as an exchange student and finished my studies there with an internship.

After coming home to France, I left Paris for a beautiful rural area in the Pyrénées mountains (this region is called Ariège). As i have now realised I want to pursue a music career, I went back to Paris and am going through a big transition and hopefully I can find clarity and inspiration for my path ahead. I believe that travel also gives an opportunity for that. For me, travel is not an escape but a mirror of the journey within...

Aside from that, I love animals (especially cats, horses, and foxes!), and my friends tend to say I have a great sense of humour ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and discovering different cultures.

I would like to travel a lot. I find that Couchsurfing is a very open way of discovering a country, and I really see collaborative tools as shaping a new exciting world.

I love to get out of my comfort zone to learn about myself and others.

In late August/September of 2024 I am taking a trip to Greece and Turkey in an attempt to reconnect to some of my ancestral roots, and to get inspired by the atmosphere for my music creations. But who knows what expects me? I am open.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I have been playing the violin for 20 years so I like and know a little about classical music, but I also love rock, blues, jazz, soul... and some dancing music. I love to sing, accompanied with a guitar or ukulele. I do covers and create my own songs as well :) I enjoy jamming and improvising!!!!! A LOT!

Movies: I love some old movies: the Marx Brothers, 'Some like it hot', Charlie Chaplin, Visconti's movies, also I especially like Kore Edo (Japanese director)

Books: recent ones: "Rest is resistance" by Tricia Hersey, "Galatea" by Madeline Miller
