Born in Caracas to a Parisian mother and a Sardinian father, I lived in Venezuela until the age of 15, at which time I moved to Canada, my adopted home country. Along the stretch of time between leaving my country of birth and resettling, once again, in Canada, I became an English teacher and a translator/interpreter; lived in California for a year, returned to Vzla for a while, and also lived in Buenos Aires for 8 years. Ever restless, I continue moving through the world seeking new experiences, lessons and friends. I am a considerate, tidy, open-minded, fun-loving person; good at lending an ear and a hand, as well as sharing a bottle of wine (or two) and going with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm once again embarking on a long traveling phase. This novel way of meeting people around the world is something new for me, and so I hope to connect and share with open-hearted, like-minded souls and grow my circle of friends around the world.
