About Me

I am a curious girl, loving travelling and discovering different culture and news things. I like to move and learn, and I hate boring. I like to meet people and have nice conversations around a drink or a dinner. That's for all this reasons that I live abroad - first in Egypt, then in Istanbul, and my new destination is Tunis for this school year ! I also have my job there :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was looking for a new place to live in Cairo when I met somebody from CS who host me for a while and made me discover the country deep inside. That's why I was convinced by this idea : travel with good opportunities to meet people, learning their cultures, and enlarge spirit...

Interests

Art and artists, Reading and writing, big conversations around drinks and cigarettes, riding horses, swimming, walking, nature, big spaces (especially sea and desert) and cities with personnality, animals, mint tea, sugar. Always discovering new things. ACTION. EXCHANGE.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spend two years in Egypt. Yes, I already said it - but if you know Cairo a little bit, then you know why it's not so easy, for a girl alone !
Other example : two horses trips with a back sickness. Yes, I did (and paid for it, but whatever ? No pain, no gain)
Also I met the Hezbollah in east Lebanon mountains. Nice people !

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : my job.
Learn : my way, my life.
Share : The meal you eat alone would never have the same taste that the one you share in good company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture, my French (of course... I'm a teacher !) my conversation, my sense of humour (not perceived by everybody... you been warned !) my cooking. I can invite people to go out without any problems, but I can't host people in my place because, well... I don't really have my own place.

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States
