CURRENT MISSION

I would like to discover countries through a unique native perspective

ABOUT ME

easy going - friendly - optimistic - ecofriendly - world traveler - english speaking (yes, I do want to challenge misconceptions about French people language skills ^^)

I was born and grew up in Paris - a city that I am deeply fond of - but I also have the great need to experience life outside France. This makes me really open and curious. Last year, I had the chance to spend 6 months in Sweden and I think it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in. I do want to continue exploring the world and maybe someday, I'll hopefully find the perfect place to live.

PHILOSOPHY

I need to remain upright and true to my principles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Why is couch surfing such an amazing concept ? It is a means to get an up close and personal look at different cultures, families, and households, far from the touristic routes.
In that sense, I do want to be part of this community, comprised of generous, open minded and culturally conscious individuals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been using couch surfing just a few times (I only registered last year) but now I feel I have a little more time for traveling !

Interests

languages, spirited debates, oriental danse !

• traveling
• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Books : all books from Stefan Zweig and, of course the French Civil code ^^
Music : what dazzles me : Lou Reed, Neil Young, Alt J, The Black Keys, Mathieu Chedid, Alain Bashung,
Cinema : a little-known Woody Allen movie : Don't drink the water + Coen Brothers (true grit)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2006, I was super lucky to watch the hatching of turtle eggs in India (Bay of Bengal). It only happens once a year!
And in Sweden, I chased the Aurora Borealis/northern lights in super cold Lapland. Most beautiful region I've ever seen.
