About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover ITALY !

ABOUT ME

I am a French 23 years old student from countryside.
I have grown up in Dordogne (South West of France) and love my region as much as I love leaving it to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Keeping eyes open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My current objective is to travel all along Italy, not only in towns but also in small villages. As soon as I will be back, I will open my door to travellers. I am used to moving from a place to another, in France and abroad for studying and working. I would particularly appreciate to welcome couchsurfers that would follow me in different places from time to time according to the locations I will be living in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new in this network but already seduced by the concept!

Interests

I enjoy walking around without any goals.
I feel peaceful and happy when I just walk, looking at buildings, their architecture or observing a beautiful landscape in Dordogne valley where my parents live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have experienced a storm in Pyrennées mountains during a trekking: it was as frightening as exciting! I realized afterwards how dangerous it was but I was too impressed by the power of nature to think about danger at that time... Since then, I dream about experiencing a storm being protected in a small house on an tiny island away from Breton cost on the Atlantic sea, or why not in a lighthouse on a rock. Do you come with me?

Teach, Learn, Share

I play clarinette and can give some tricks for the ones interested ;-) but I still have much to learn about this instrument. In particular I play folk music without taking too much into account "written" music but just listening to others to imitate and apropriate the song.
The all idea about folk music is to play with others, whatever the skills and knowledge. What matters is to participate to learn.
