ABOUT ME

My name is Nora and I'm a teacher in Switzerland.
In october 2014 I went to France to work as an assistant teacher in Bayonne (near Biarritz) for almost a year.
For 3 months I was teaching voluntarily in a school in Senegal. And after that I entertained children in a hotel in Morocco. I'm an open-minded person so I love to travel around the world and to learn about new cultures.

Girls usually love shopping, especially a lot of differences shoes or bags. Not me. I'm happy with all my converse and my beanies... i have a lot!

Some quirks of me are: love to brushing my teeth/ dye my hair constantly / sleeping until the afternoon, when i haven't school / I can't whisper / I dance only when I've been drinking / I lose my phone again and again and again

PHILOSOPHY

In the end, people will judge you anyway. Don't live your life impressing others. Live your life impressing yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surfing and sharing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I made couchsurfing with my friend Lea in Marocco. The first experience was with Warsowie in Marrakesh. She gave us the key for one room and so we were independant. Just GREAT :)!
The second time we were by Simo. We spent a lot of time together and it was an interesting experience.
Summer 2012 i went to California with my sister Laura. We surfed three couches. One in Santa Cruz, another in Santa Barbara and the last in San Diego. The couch in San Diego by Marc was awesome. (There is a reference from Marc for us, on the page of my Sister: lumeti).
My first experience ALONE, i've done by Céline in France.
After that my friend Vivi and I went to a short trip to Lugano (italy part of Switzerland) by Vito. A very uncomplicated host.
Summer 2015 i went to Florida for 1 month. and i had some really great couch surfer experience. one of the best was by Matt. An awesome guy.
So thanks couchsurfing for this idea. I really had a lot of fantastics experience. and I'm looking forward for more ;)
