Overview
About Me
I have been traveling by myself since I was a teenager and I got SO addicted to it! So far I have called six countries homes, in Europe, West Africa, and America -- and will most probably have many new homes :)
Genuine world lover, every place I've visited, captured or lived in became special thanks to the people I met there. Human rights and feminist activist, I am particularly curious about art, culture and personal stories that tell so much about a country and our human ties!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is the perfect network for a curious person like me! I can't consider discovering a new place without hearing people's stories and understanding their mindset. Don't be surprised if I happen to ask many questions and please dare to ask many as well!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music holds a special place in my life, there's always a song playing in my head and everywhere I go I want to listen to local music as it tells a lot about local realities. As I spent 3 years in West Africa lately, I am still particularly keen on African melodies, from Kora sweetness to energetic afro beats. Otherwise, Pink Floyd always sounds otherworldly and makes me travel to another galaxy without moving my body!
About films, most of my friends work in the film industry so I couldn't help but become a film lover - from documentaries to series and through best/unknown movies.
Books.... I am a true book lover and can't choose my favorite one... But if I had to mention one author that struck me recently, I would say Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, bevause we need more female and non-western gaze for human stories !
