Hi there! I'm from Switzerland, but I currently live and work in Iraq.
I have just graduated from a Master in International Law in Geneva and I lived more than a year in Turkey (Gaziantep), then 6 months in Central African Republic in the humanitarian/development sector, then I had a mid-twenties crisis where I ended up in Mexico, doing 2 months of training to become a scuba diving guide. After that, the paths of life took me to Iraq, more particularly in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, where I have lived for almost 2,5 years. I really love how it opened my mind on so many things.

I deeply love travelling, this is for me the best way to understand better our world and become a true citizen of this planet! I strongly believe that kindness is one of the most important quality a person have.
I am an independant and empathetic woman, I enjoy traveling alone, I don't like to rush from one city to another. I am a bit of an introvert sometimes until I get comfortable with the people around me :)

I love unexpected questions or conversations that make you think about life in a meaningful way . I love taking care of people and make them feel as happy, welcome and comfortable as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Couchsurfing because there is no better way to learn about a country and a particular city than to discover it with a local!

Interests

I love learning how our world work, where it does mess up and try to think of way to improve it.
I love reading a good book and I wish I could do it more!
I am a HUGE scuba diving fan - it's both sport and therapy all at once!
