ABOUT ME
Hey Guys! So here is a very little description of me and my travels :)
At 18 I moved from Limoges mw hometown to Paris to study architecture. Living in Paris is really an experience and I had the chance to live it as a student.
In 2007 I spent one year in Erasmus in Dublin....the best year ever: I learn a lot. Meeting people from everywhere, exchanging culture, and best of it, keeping contacts and visiting them!
Then I had a great post erasmus summer / winter of travels Greece Italy Turkey Cyprus Denmark Spain
I had to go back to Paris to keep up with my studies. I hosted some couchsurfers and had a great time! It makes me travel at home in a way! They are people I will allways remember.
Now I am in Zurich, working as an urban planner in a dutch office. Its been 2 years that I moved to Zurich and I really enjoy it. The quality of life is quite incredible as the city can offer a lot: its urban and yet nature orientated, you can swimm afterwork in the lake or the river, you meet people from everywhere.
I didn't travel so much these last two years as the work too a bit over and we don't have much paid hollidays in Switzerland. I couldn't host as I am living with 2 flatmates that are not really into hosting. I miss it but I hope soon to surf and enjoy the Cs experience again!
I allways liked to sketch, collect infos and write when i am visiting places so I can remember.
For the next years I want to travel, maybe with my brother or by myself, to countries I allways wanted to go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Participation to a summer camp called EASA007(European Student Architecture Association) in Greece, and then one year after another summer camp in Letterfrack, Connemara.
Theses summer camp are very special as you are living for 2 weeks with 400 people from all other Europe, all studying architecture, landscape or design.
Teach, Learn, Share
sharing cultures, meals
cooking and eating together is a strong thing
I can teach Paris history and some architecture tells of the city if you are interested in that
