Hi there travelers !
My name is Pénélope,I'm French and I'm taking a gap year from studies to explore.
Traveling, discovering new things, people, culture, languages...whatever that widens the field of possibilities. :)

Hope we can meet during this adventure !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered Couchsurfing on a bike trip with friends and found that it was nice way to have an insight of the country, to connect genuinely with people and get good memories.

Meeting people with their cultural differences, points of vue makes me think
"Wow, I really want to get to know this world better ! "

Sharing and experimenting different ways of life bring me a desire to stay curious and open-minded ! And it's often lot funnier and fulfilling than staying in a hôtel.
