About Me

I am currently travelling around the world.

I'm half French and half German, but lived abroad since my studies. I love life and all the good things that come with it.

What I like most when traveling is meeting local people, discovering the small family restaurant at the corner, the backstreets that give character to a city.

Currently travelling so I can't accept guests for now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best discoveries during travels are the ones shown by locals. I want to share the amazing places I know and leave people with lasting impressions and shake preconceptions.
I enjoy it very much when people bring me to their favorite places, it's not only more interesting but I also like to get the stories, emotions and memories behind those.
