Overview
About Me
If I had to describe myself in a sentence, I would say that I am a sports enthusiast with a MSc in Biochemistry, that is currently pursuing a PhD in Physical Activity and Health. But that would really be reductive...... I identify a lot with Walt Whitman's poem Song of Myself, in the sense that I don't believe I can or should be checked into little boxes. We are so much more than that!
But anyway, I am a very communicative person, and always down to converse about whatever, whenever, just drop me a message 🤙🏻
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
Just dropping my all-time favourite movie... The Green Mile. Probably the most touching movie I have ever had the pleasure of watching
I'm a lover of music, and there's no concert not worth going to! If there's something happening in your city, it's a green light haha
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Well, there's so many things to choose from... I'll keep to my travels, and the latest was going from Marrakech to Dakar in 14 days without a plan, just a return flight ticket. And so many things happened... Hitchhiked 700km in 12h in a truck in Morocco, rode the longest train in Africa in Mauritania, participated in a end of the year Sufi ceremony in Senegal... Just a massive trip all in all
What I Can Share with Hosts
Funny stories, a nice time, a nice experience (I hope).
I can also cook quite well (but that really is subjective, isn't it?).
