About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm from France (near Paris), still studying but traveling as well. I just come back from Madagascar where I was doing both (studying and traveling). I always liked it.
I first tried couchsurfing when I did a year-off in 2014-2015: I came first in Finland for 4 months to study design and then traveled around Australia with a Working Holidays Visa for 6 months.

PHILOSOPHY

" Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans " (John Lennon)
I don't like planing to much, I prefer unpredictable things !
