For the last 10 years, I mostly lived in Paris, but I worked 6 months in Georgia last year, for humanitarian mission as I am a doctor, and 4 months in Guadeloupe during this winter, for work too.
My dad is from Belgium, my mom from Touraine in France. I have 3 brothers and soon a niece!
I like to visit cities but I also really enjoy simply walking or hiking in the nature...
I recently moved to Peyrestortes, near Perpignan and I would be delighted to host travelers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I am planning a 2 months trip to Lebanon through Italy, Greece, and Cyprus on my own, I think it is a perfect opportunity to meet different people leaving in these beautiful countries.
I am very curious about all these cultures and I think that meeting people is one of the best way to discover them. I am open minded, friendly and very flexible.
Now, I have a big and beautiful house near Perpignan, near the Pyrenees, so welcome!

I love so many different kind of movies...from Tarantino to Jim Jarmush, Wong Kar Wai to Miyazaki, Fellini, Woody Allen and french movies of course! I really enjoyed The Salt of the Earth, Wim Wenders, about photographer Sebastian Salgado.
I enjoy french literature, but I also like american literature. I loved the Turkish novel price's novel, The Museum of Innocence, Orhan Pamuk. Recently, I started the italian saga of Elena Ferrante, Napolitan's novels, and I love it!
