I was born in Alsace (France), a region close to the boarder with Germany and Switzerland, so I grew up in a mix of cultures. Then I decided to continue to explore this intercultural way of life going to Germany for my studies. I’m now teaching German in a french school in Switzerland. So you can easily understand how important is the interconnection between cultures in my life.

I started to travel abroad 10 years ago, mostly in Europe. When I travel I really try to get in touch with local people. I love to discover new people and so to be confronted to new mindsets. I think that I’m open minded, I can listen to others without judging.

I like to meet new people, to spend time with my friends. I enjoy hiking, climbing and I play the violin. I genuinely like to be outdoors. I have fun by discovering new places by bike.

Dialogue, listening and respect for different opinions are fundamental for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I made my first CS experiences during my last trip to Italy. I had the opportunity to meet incredible people who not only offered me a place to stay for the night but really came out and shared with me their travel experiences and much more. We had such interesting conversations and I was moved by their generosity. Now I also want to host people at my place in Zurich and spend time with them, exchanging about our own life and travel experiences.

I’m thirty for new encounters!

Teach, Learn, Share

I‘ve been living in Zurich for 6 years now so I think I can show or recommend you some nice places.

I really enjoy cooking with other people and sharing favourite recipes.
