About Me

I'm a 25-year old vegan who loves cooking (and eating !), doing sports and walking in nature. I'm rather a calm person, definitely not a party animal.
I appreciate the simple things in life and try to get a healthy lifestyle.

I got a degree in English language and literature and I spent my final year in the UK, in Birmingham. It was one of the best years in my life. I think that living abroad is the best way to evolve and rethink your life.

Back to France, I did a 2-year diploma program in tourism without really knowing where this is going to take me...

After I finished my studies, I wanted to make the most of my free time and travel (Let's say I wanted to put my knowledge into practice :p ). I spent a month in the UK doing workaway and a month in Thailand and Malaysia. - and loved it so much!

Then I decided to become a volunteer for a NGO and I'm currently staying in Viet Nam for 10 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and discover new places, new people, new cultures...
I think Couchsurfing is the best way to meet local people while traveling and learn many things from them. It's also a good way to be given helpful travel tips. And obviously it's a great sharing experience for both the host and the couchsurfer.

Music, Movies, and Books

- MUSIC -
I'm mainly into Rock and Pop-Rock music but I also like Jazz, Classic music, Reggae and any music with good vibes. And I think the older I get, the more open I become.

- MOVIES -
I don't have one favourite movie but my favourites genres are dramas and psychological movies that stay in your head, make you think and change your perspective on things. Some of my favourite ones: Requiem For A Dream, Shutter Island, Fight Club, One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest, Awakenings, Room, and Harry Potter - my childhood!

- BOOKS -
I don't have a favourite book either. I like novels, adventures, autobiographies, poems. One of my favourite writers is Amélie Nothomb. Her style and words really touch my soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A solo trip to Thailand and to Malaysia - a life changing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm curious about everything but above all about food. I love to discover new recipes and share mine.
I also like to discuss people's way of living and their vision of life. I'm always happy to learn new things.
